National Guard Drug Demand
Reduction Program
 The Office of National Drug Control Policy has identified toxic, addictive substances as "a hazard to our safety and freedom, producing devastating crime and health problems." Due to this fact,
the National Drug Control Strategy established as one of its goals to educate and enable America's youth to reject illegal drugs as well as alcohol and tobacco.
Due to the long tradition of
Guardsmen serving in their communities and the presence of personnel, equipment and facilities throughout the United States, the National Guard serves as an important asset in helping to reach this goal.
The mission of the National Guard Drug Demand Reduction Program is to provide support to law enforcement agencies, educational institutions and community-based organizations in
educating and informing the public, particularly youth, on the hazards of substance abuse. Drug Demand Reduction support organizes National Guard resources, members and their families in
support of drug abuse prevention programs in the community.
 The National Guard Drug
Demand Reduction Program provides positive role models committed to a policy of zero tolerance for drug use for themselves, their families and for others with whom they serve.
The focus of the National
Guard Counterdrug Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP) is to educate youth regarding the illegal use of drugs and provide them with positive alternatives through the following five missions:
1. Community-Based Support. This mission provides support to
community activities such as youth centers, drug free events, community recreation programs and safe havens, which are designed to educate, train or otherwise prevent drug abuse among youth.
2. Informational Support. Provide education and prevention
information through pamphlets, books and videos.
3. Educational Institution Support. Support community-based activities that focus on educational institutions that are designed to train or otherwise prevent youth from abusing drugs.
4. Coalition Development Support. Assist in the development of a functioning community coalition whose primary goal is to reduce the illegal use of drugs.
5. Leadership Development Support. Provide support to
camps, retreats, seminars and programs not primarily associated with educational institutions that focus on developing drug abuse prevention leadership skills in youth.
The Drug Demand Reduction Program is involved in several youth camps in which Guard members instruct the campers in land navigation, a leadership reaction course, and resistance education skills.
