For family members who are enrolled in the EFMP, the Army will consider the physical, emotional, or educational need during reassignments and make an attempt to assign soldiers to an installation where the needed medical and educational services are available.

EFMP is made up of individuals:

• Who have chronic medical problems such as hearing impairment, depression, diabetes, asthma, etc.
• Who require special education (physical, occupational, or speech therapy, learning disability resources, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, etc).

For additional information please contact the Exceptional Family Member Program Manager by phone at 608-388-2412 or email Army Community Service.
