Which document requires signatures from board members and the approval authority during the MEB process?

• A. AF Form 618
• B. AF Form 356
• C. NARSUM
• D. CRP

Answer: (A)

The key document that brings the MEB findings into formal, signed record is the Medical Board Proceedings form. This form is the official record of the board’s review, and it is the one that must bear the signatures of each board member along with the approving authority. Those signatures verify that the board carefully considered the service member’s medical condition, reached a conclusion, and that the decision has been officially approved to move forward in the process.

The other documents play different roles. The Narrative Summary (NARSUM) is the clinician’s written summary of the member’s medical history and functional impact; it isn’t the document that requires the board’s signature page. The CRP (critical review panel) provides oversight but isn’t the signature page for the board’s decision. AF Form 356 is a separate form used in the process, not the formal board proceedings signature document.
