Back in the 80s and early 90s I had a common drug avialable. It was nothing more than some number and letters and a slang name even. I had several NPCs addicted to it.
It was highly addictive but it also increased a soldiers ability to withstand pain, fatigue, and made them able to accomblish near impossible physical tasks, and of course they never tired under its effects.
Of course as I said, the down side was it was highly addictive, and after a while troops taking it ended up with a phsycosis, as well as acute paranoia, agression and rage.
Needless to say, this was found often in elite high speed units and some officers more so than regular units. And command turned a blind eye to its use since it enhanced preformance. In some cases it was made easily available in some areas although not officialy issued mind you, but its use nor its presence discouraged.
