Assignment Coordination
When a family member's specific medical or educational needs are documented via the DD2792 and DD2792-1, HQMC EFMP Assignment specialist use the information to match documented needs to the capability of the proposed PCS location. While the military's mission guides these assignments, when MMOA/MMEA/RAM and EFMP work together, the goal is to find an assignment that supports mission, career progression and family member needs.
