• U.S. Army National Guard (AGR) Soldiers serving under the authority of Title 10, U.S. Code and Title 32, U.S. Code

How to enroll?

The Soldier must contact the nearest Army medical treatment facility EFMP point of contact to begin the assessment process and obtain the enrollment forms. Once these forms are completed, they are forwarded to the appropriate regional medical center for coding and entry into the program.

Personnel agencies then have access to EFMP status. The Sponsor is responsible for enrolling a Family member and updating the enrollment at least every 3-years or if changes in diagnosis or condition occur; and/or to dis-enroll.

EFMP enrollment does not adversely affect a Soldier’s selection for promotions, schools or assignments. Information about enrollment in EFMP is not given to selection boards

Benefits

Enrollment allows assignment managers at Army personnel agencies to consider the documented medical and special education needs of exceptional Family members in the assignment process. When possible, Soldiers are assigned to an area where the medical and special education needs of their exceptional family members can be met. This will depend upon a valid personnel requirement for the Soldier’s grade, specialty, and eligibility for the tour. Soldiers who are enrolled in EFMP are still subject to worldwide assignments, and like any other Soldier, may be called upon to serve an unaccompanied tour.
