When military members apply for 

benefits, they must complete the form 

which corresponds to the particular 

dependent situation (a parent, an 

incapacitated child over age 21, a 

student age 21–22, or a ward of a court). 

While members usually complete these 

forms, they can also be completed by 

others considered members of the 

public. Dependency claim examiners 

use the information from these forms to 

determine the degree of benefits. 

Without this collection of information, 

proof of an entitlement to a benefit 

would not exist. The requirement to 

complete these forms helps alleviate the 

opportunity for fraud, waste, and abuse 

of dependent benefits.

The Building Healthy Military 

Communities (BHMC) pilot is a multiyear initiative that aims to better 

understand unique challenges faced by 

geographically dispersed Service 

members and their families that may 

impact force readiness and well-being. 

The BHMC pilot is conducting a Rapid 

Needs Assessment (RNA) to establish a 

baseline assessment of readiness 

requirements and available resources to 

support these requirements at a state 

level, as well as to identify current gaps 

in resources for Service members across 

all components. The RNA is part of an 

effort to enrich the DoD’s methodology 

for creating a well-informed strategic 

plan aimed at optimizing force 

readiness and well-being through 

community capacity building and better 

coordination among DoD and non-DoD 

resources. To conduct this assessment, 

the Office of the Assistant Secretary of 

Defense for Readiness (OASD(R)), in 

collaboration with the National Guard 

Bureau (NGB), Uniformed Services 

University of the Health Sciences 

(USUHS), and the Services within the 

Reserve Component, will conduct 

interviews with program representatives 

at the federal, DoD, state, and local 

community level to gather qualitative 

data on their programs and services, the 

population(s) served by their programs, 

and the program manager’s observations 

on salient issues impacting the wellbeing of Service members and their 

families. The in-person interviews 

conducted during the RNA will give a 

unique perspective into all Services and 

components regarding gaps in available 

resources that impact readiness and 

well-being. The RNA is a one-time event 

expected to last from November 2017 to 

April 2018.
