EFMP is a Department of Defense program offered by all branches of the military.  It is a mandatory enrollment program for all active-duty Airmen who have a special needs family member.  The program is comprised of three components: EFMP-Medical (EFMP-M), EFMP-Assignments (EFMP-A) and EFMP-Family Support (EFMP-FS) that work toward a common goal of providing comprehensive and coordinated support to families.  EFMP-M supports the EFMP through screening, enrollment and assignment coordination through the Family Member Travel Screening.  EFMP-A considers the medical and educational needs of the family when it has been determined that the required services are not available at the Airman’s current or projected assignment location.  EFMP-FS is based on Section 563(c) NDAA FY2010 (Public Law 111-84).  Support is provided by the Military and Family Readiness Center (M&FRC) EFMP-FS coordinators to all DoD ID cardholders assigned to the installation or located in the community.
