What EFMP Is and Is Not:
- EFMP is often misunderstood. Leaders should know:
- EFMP Enrollment (Medical – MTF):
- Verifies and processes required medical documentation
- Coordinates with HRC on assignment availability
EFMP Family Support (ACS):
- Provides advocacy, navigation, and non-clinical support
- Helps Families access services and build stability
EFMP does not:
- Decide assignments (HRC does)
- Provide medical treatment
- Automatically prevent PCS
- Replace command involvement

Exceptional Family Member Program - ACS
EFMP ensures Soldiers with dependents who have medical or educational needs receive coordinated support to maintain readiness and stability.

EFMP at ACS provides systems navigation, advocacy, and non‑clinical case management, helping Families understand medical and school processes while connecting them to respite care and community resources. By supporting Families through PCS moves, deployments, and other transitions, EFMP ensures leaders have Soldiers who are better able to stay mission‑focused because their Families are supported and informed.
