SECTION  II:   HISTORICAL  NARRATIVE 
A.   SUPPORT  DEPARTMENT 
1.  (U)  The  Naval  Security  Group  Activity  Family  Peer  Program  held 
its  first  two  week  training  seminar.  Ten  Peer  Program  Home  Visitors  were 
trained  in  the  area  of  early  childhood  development,  resource  availability, 
and  general  support  procedures  that  would  enable  them  to  enter  into  support 
relationships  with  identified  disfunctional  families.  The  training  was 
directed  under  the  guidance  of  a  consultant  from  the  High/Scope  Educational 
Research  Foundation,  Yosilanti,  Michigan.  This  program  is  one  of  three 
pilot  programs  that  the  Navy  has  adopted  to  address  the  issues  of  family 
wellness  and  act  as  a  prevention  of  child  abuse  and  neglect. 
2.  (U)  The  first  Navy  Substance  Abuse  Prevention  Program  (NASAPP) 
class  was  held  at  NSGA.  Subsequent  classes  were  held  every  other  month 
for  the  remainder  of  the  year.  An  average  of  22  people,  both  officer  and 
enlisted,  attended  each  class. 
3.  (U)  A  Department  Substance  Abuse  Representative  (DSAR)  was 
appointed  for  each  department.  The  DSAR's  are  trained  to  present  GMT  blocks 
on  substance  abuse,  act  as  initial  information  points  for  department 
personnel,  and  are  members  of  the  Command  Substance  Abuse  Council. 
4.  (U)  A  Command  Assessment  Survey  was  conducted  by  the  Navy 
Organizational  Effectiveness  Center  in  January.  A  cross-sectional 
representation  of  97  personnel  were  interviewed.  In  April,  a  Command 
Assessment  Working  Group  (CAWG)  was  established  to  look  at  the  problem 
areas  and  made  recommendations  to  the  Commanding  Officer  for  implementing 
findings  of  the  survey. 
5.  (U)  Fifty  to  sixty  Command  members  are  being  tested  monthly 
under  the  Command's  Random  Urinalysis  Program  using  the  unit  S.T.  (single

the  test  kit  is  effective  in  the  detection  of  nine  different  drug 
classifications .

seventeen  families  were  the  recipients  of  the  Peer  Program's  support  and 
guidance.

closet  items  was  identified  and  the  task  of  collecting  and  distributing  the 
items  was  established.  The  Command  allocated  space  in  one  of  two  NSGA 
warehouses  for  the  storage  of  these  items  when  not  in  use.

smooth  the  accession  of  more  than  2,000  military  reservists  into  the  NSA/CSS 
organization  in  the  event  of  full  or  partial  mobilization.  During 
subsequent  meetings,  a  draft  mobilization  plan  was  developed  addressing
