What is the role of the Unit Prevention Leader (UPL) during testing?

The role of the Unit Prevention Leader (UPL) during testing is primarily to oversee the entire testing process. This responsibility entails ensuring that all steps of the testing protocol are followed correctly, from the initial notification of soldiers selected for testing to the final submission of samples to the laboratory. The UPL ensures compliance with regulations and maintains the integrity of the testing process. This includes coordinating with other personnel involved in the administration of the tests, verifying the identity of the individuals being tested, and managing the logistics of the testing environment. By overseeing the entire process, the UPL helps to maintain the reliability and accuracy of the results, which is crucial for the Army's substance abuse prevention efforts.
