Who is accountable to the commanding officer for implementing NADAP policies?

The correct answer is DAPA, which stands for Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor. The DAPA is specifically designated to implement and enforce the Navy's Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (NADAP) policies within their command. This position plays a crucial role in overseeing the programs that aim to prevent substance abuse, providing resources for education, and supporting personnel who may be struggling with substance-related issues. As a direct link to the commanding officer, the DAPA ensures compliance with NADAP and contributes to the overall health and readiness of the command.

In contrast, other positions such as CAAC (Command Alcohol Awareness Coordinator), ARD (Alcohol Recovery Director), and NAVALREHC (Naval Rehabilitation Center) have supportive or specialized roles related to substance abuse but do not hold the same accountability to the commanding officer for the implementation of NADAP policies. The DAPA is specifically tasked with this leadership and responsibility.
