              CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
 
PART 62b--DRUNK AND DRUGGED DRIVING BY DoD PERSONNEL--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 62b.3  Policy.

    (a) Intoxicated driving is incompatible with the maintenance of high 
standards of performance, military discipline, DoD personnel 
reliability, and readiness of military units and supporting activities. 
It is DoD policy to reduce significantly the incidence of intoxicated 
driving within the Department of Defense through a coordinated program 
of education, indentification, law enforcement, and treatment. 
Specifically, the goal of the DoD Intoxicated Driving Prevention Program 
is to reduce the number of fatalities and injuries suffered by DoD 
personnel and the amount of property damage that result from intoxicated 
driving. Persons who engage in intoxicated driving, regardless of the 
geographic location of the incident, have demonstrated a serious 
disregard for the safety of themselves and others. It is appropriate for 
military commanders, in the exercise of their inherent authority, to 
protect the mission of an installation and the safety of persons and 
property therein to restrict driving privileges of persons who engage in 
such actions.
    (b) The Department of Defense shall participate in the national 
effort to prevent intoxicated driving by maintaining appropriate 
relationships with other governmental agencies and private organizations 
and shall cooperate with responsible civil authorities consistent with 
statutory and regulatory constraints in detecting, identifying, 
apprehending, prosecuting, educating, and counseling intoxicated drivers 
and in reporting cases as required by State laws and applicable Status 
of Forces Agreements.
