Unfitness or misconduct through alcohol or drugs is addressed by which AFA section?

• A. Section 11 AFA
• B. Section 20 AFA
• C. Section 15 AFA
• D. Section 13 AFA

Answer: (B)

Unfit or misconduct arising from alcohol or drugs is handled by a provision that specifically targets intoxication-related issues within the Armed Forces Act. This section recognizes that being under the influence can impair fitness for duty and lead to misconduct, so it provides the framework and authority to address those situations appropriately, separate from other kinds of offences or disciplinary matters. It guides how to respond, whether through disciplinary action, treatment, or other appropriate measures when intoxication affects performance and conduct.

The other sections cover different topics or pathways for discipline that don’t directly address the unique consequences of alcohol- or drug-induced unfitness, so they aren’t the correct fit for this particular scenario.
