The purpose of the screening is to identify family members with any medical, educational or mental health needs that may not be available in certain overseas areas.

Policy

All Soldiers requesting dependent family travel for OCONUS travel (to include Alaska and Hawaii) must have their family member’s medical records screened by the EFMP clinic, IAW AR 608-75.
