Picture of an Army family, both parents in field uniform, teenage daughter, and toddler son dressed in camouflage holding an American flag. Text reads: Identification of family members who have special needs and the enrollment of service members in the E F M P allows personnel offices to consider these needs in the assignment process. Failure to register a family member and enroll in the E F M P may result in an assignment to a location without proper medical, educational, or community support services. Begin the enrollment process as soon as you are aware of a family member's special need to avoid unnecessary disruptions and expenses.
