FIFTEEN soldiers face dismissal from the Army after failing drug tests, the Ministry of Defence said last night. The soldiers, all in the Light Dragoons, based at Swanton Morley, Norfolk, were tested shortly before Christmas, said an MoD spokesman. "Drug use is unacceptable in the Army," he added.

Around 500 soldiers at the barracks are believed to have been tested as part of the Army's continuing drugs monitoring programme.
