Will FTDTL test a specimen if the DoD ID is missing?

The correct answer is based on the strict identification protocols that govern the testing process within the Department of Defense's drug testing program. The failure to include a Department of Defense Identification (DoD ID) number on the specimen means that the chain of custody and accountability for that sample cannot be properly established.

Specimens must be accurately linked to the individual from whom they were collected to ensure the integrity of the testing process and the results. Without the DoD ID, the ability to verify identity and maintain the necessary documentation is compromised, which is critical for maintaining the credibility of the results.

Additionally, testing without proper identification could lead to legal and disciplinary issues, as individuals would not be able to be accurately identified, which could affect potential consequences or remediation efforts for substance abuse issues. Thus, to uphold the integrity of the testing process and adhere to regulations, the specimen will not be tested if the DoD ID is missing.
