From 1999 until the present, there have been 91 service members apprehended for the use, sale and/or possession of illegal drugs, who indicated that they obtained these drugs at Nations Nightclub, located at 1015 Half Street, SE, Washington, D.C.

As a result, criminal investigation agencies from each of our military services conducted several covert operations.  Based on information obtained from these investigations, the Joint Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board voted unanimously to place Nations Nightclub off-limits to all military personnel in the National Capital Region. 

This restriction became effective 22 August 2002.  Accordingly, all DOD service members are prohibited from entering Nations as long as this order is in force.  All commanders and program managers will ensure their personnel fully understand this punitive order.  Military personnel who violate this off-limits order may be subject to discipline under Article 92, UCMJ.
