CHING CHUAN KANG COMMANDER STEPS UP, TAKES RESPONSIBILITY|清泉崗毒品事件 空軍427聯隊長自請處分

The commander of the Ching Chuan Kang air base in Taichung apologized yesterday for a scandal where more than 50 bags of narcotics were found on the base last month. He said he would take full responsibility and asked to be punished, as the incident has brought substantial damage to the military's image and reputation. So far, all servicemen at the air base have had their urine tested, barring 225 people who are either on leave or receiving training at other locations. According to the military, all remaining tests will be completed this week. The suspected drugs abuse related with Ching Chuan Kang Air Force Base is getting more serious. The 427th Tactical Fighter Wing director along with other high ranking officers attended press conference. ==WANG TE-YANG Major General, ROC Air Force== The incident has provoked concern and damaged military reputation. I especially emphasize, my desire to take responsibility has nothing to do with the investigation. These are not related. It is simply, because I'm the commander, I must take responsibility for issues on this base. Currently, 225 military personnel and officers have not completed urine test due to training or leave. The remaining personnel are expected to complete urine test next week. It has been nearly two weeks since the drugs incident occurred, why did the military not recall everyone returning to the base? The military replied that it was due to human rights concern. ==WANG TE-YANG Major General ROC Air Force== I did not make the order to the level of "total recall," all personnel must return to the base. No, I did not, because we do not make recall. Therefore, there are some leaves and absence from time to time. A total of eight soldiers' urine samples were tested positive for first-class narcotics. As to the investigation progress and suspect soldiers' ranks, the military has been mute. ==WANG TE-YANG Major General ROC Air Force== It is as I just briefed you, the case is currently under judicial investigation, and therefore I really cannot provide you further answers. The military has emphasized the investigation will continue from any rank up, however the military did not explain fully nor clearly to the public.
