Where is the MEB package sent?

• A. AFPC/ARC/SG
• B. Unit Commander
• C. PCM
• D. DES office

Answer: (A)

When a medical evaluation board is needed, the MEB package follows the personnel processing path, not just medical review. It is sent to AFPC/ARC/SG—the Air Force Personnel Center with Surgeon General oversight—because this office coordinates medical evaluation actions and the Disability Evaluation System for both active and Reserve components. AFPC/ARC/SG receives the MEB package, reviews the medical findings, and coordinates the next steps, including whether the case moves into the DES/Physical Evaluation Board process. The other options aren’t the official recipient for submitting the MEB package: a unit commander handles command matters, the primary care manager provides care but doesn’t forward the official MEB, and the DES office handles disability determinations after the package is routed through AFPC/ARC/SG.
