Objectives of the ASAP:
A. Increase individual fitness and overall unit readiness.
B. Provide services, which are adequate and responsive to the needs of the total workforce and emphasize alcohol and other drug abuse deterrence, prevention, education, and treatment.
C. Implement alcohol and other drug risk reduction and prevention strategies that respond to potential problems before they jeopardize readiness, productivity, and careers.
D. Restore to duty those substance-impaired soldiers who have the potential for continued military service.
E. Provide effective alcohol and other drug abuse prevention and education at all levels of command, and encourage commanders to provide alcohol and drug-free leisure activities.
F. Ensure all military and civilian personnel assigned to ASAP staffs are appropriately trained and experienced to accomplish their mission.
G. Achieve maximum productivity and reduce absenteeism and attrition among DA civilian employees by reducing the effects of the abuse of alcohol and other drugs.
H. Improve readiness by extending services to the total Army.
I. Ensure quality customer service.
