What does the AFPC/ARC/SG do in the MEB process?

• A. Determines medical eligibility
• B. Sends the MEB package
• C. Conducts MEB interviews
• D. Drafts NARSUM

Answer: (B)

The key idea is administrative processing: AFPC/ARC/SG handles routing the completed MEB package to the next step in the process. After the medical documentation and the narrative summary are prepared, this office forwards the package to the Physical Evaluation Board for a formal fitness determination. They’re not deciding medical eligibility themselves, they aren’t conducting MEB interviews, and they don’t draft the NARSUM—the physician at the medical facility writes the NARSUM. This routing role moves the case along to the board that makes the final disposition.
