Fort Huachuca, Arizona - With PCS season in full swing, the ACS Exceptional Family Member Program
(EFMP) would like to highlight an important requirement impacting ALL
Military Families traveling OCONUS (including Alaska and Hawaii).
When a Soldier NOT enrolled in the EFMP receives an OCONUS Assignment, they
also need to know that the EFMP impacts them as well.
ALL Soldiers reassigned OCONUS seeking Command Sponsorship must complete
Medical EFMP Overseas Screening even if family members aren't currently
enrolled in the EFMP.
WHY?
Many OCONUS locations have limited access to specialized care or special
education services and the Overseas Screening process ensures family member
needs are identified and can be accommodated by the gaining command before
family travel is authorized.
Soldiers completing the On Line Levy Briefing are required to submit an
electronic DA Form 7415, EFMP Querying Sheet. Not all Students can access
the On Line Levy Briefing so it's important that they get the word from
their leaders about the Overseas Screening requirement.
Upon receipt of the emailed DA 7415, our ACS EFMP System Navigator provides
an emailed response to Soldiers that includes information on the Overseas
Screening process, appointment scheduling procedures, and contact
information for the Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Center (RWBACH) EFMP
Coordinator.
DON'T WAIT. This should be one of the first things you do when notified of
OCONUS Assignment Instructions. Delays can occur if Family Members require
updated physical examinations or have other medical related issues. There
is only one Medical EFMP representative to complete the required forms so,
if the representative is away from the office for an extended period, the
process is further delayed.
If you have medical related EFMP questions or need to initiate Medical
Overseas Screening contact the RWBACH EFMP Special Needs Advisor at
533-9035. You can also obtain instructions and related forms for Overseas
Screening at http://rwbach.huachuca.amedd.army.mil/efmp.html. For more
information about this process or how ACS EFMP can assist EFMP Families
transition to their next duty station, contact ACS at 533-2330.
