Information concerning enrollment in the EFMP or any of the data used in the program is not made available to selection boards. Return to list of questions. Enrollment allows assignment managers at Army personnel agencies to consider the documented medical and special education needs of EFMs in the assignment process. When possible, soldiers are assigned to an area where their EFMs medical and special education needs can be met. This will depend on a valid personnel requirement for the soldier's grade, specialty, and eligibility for the tour.
All soldiers are still eligible for worldwide assignment.
Return to list of questions. Special education needs are only considered in assignments outside the United States. Assignments within our 50 States and Trust Territories are not based on the educational needs of children. Every local school system must obey public laws regarding the provision of special education. Return to list of questions.
