What are the key areas of responsibility for a Unit Prevention Leader (UPL)?

• A. Logistics, Supply, and Fuel Management
• B. Risk Reduction, Early Intervention, Discipline, Training, and Liaison
• C. Safety, Health, and Fitness Only
• D. Recruitment, Morale, and Counseling

Answer: (B)

The core of a Unit Prevention Leader’s role is to prevent substance abuse and promote readiness through five integrated areas: reducing risk factors within the unit, catching issues early and guiding soldiers to help before they escalate, enforcing standards and maintaining discipline related to behavior, providing and coordinating targeted prevention training, and acting as a liaison to connect the unit with command, medical, and external resources for support and referrals. This combination ensures prevention is proactive, supports soldiers who are at risk, and keeps the unit healthy and ready. Other options miss this comprehensive approach: they focus mainly on logistics, or on a narrower set of activities, or on morale and counseling without the full scope of prevention responsibilities.
