NINE soldiers face dismissal from the army after being caught using illegal drugs at the Laverack Barracks in Townsville.
Commander of the army's Third Brigade, Brigadier David Morrison, said a coordinated military and Queensland police operation last month targeted 19 soldiers who were required to give urine samples for testing.
Brigadier Morrison said the army service of the nine who returned positive tests would be reviewed and they faced disciplinary action, including dismissal.
"We are sending a clear message to those who are taking illegal drugs - be prepared to be dismissed from the army," Brigadier Morrison said in a statement.
He said the army had a zero tolerance attitude towards illegal drugs use and would continue its crackdown, with no excuses accepted.
"Further, given that we are acting in many cases on information received from other soldiers, it is clear they do not want these people in their ranks," Brigadier Morrison said
