Who designated the military training facility (MTF) to conduct a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) on a general officer?

• A. HQ AFPC/DPANM
• B. Air Force Surgeon General
• C. HQ AF/CC
• D. The board will be conducted at the originating MTF

Answer: (A)

The key idea is which office has the authority to designate the facility that will perform a Medical Evaluation Board for a general officer. This designation is made by HQ AFPC/DPANM. The Air Force Personnel Center, specifically the DPANM division, administers medical evaluation boards for officers and assigns the MTF to conduct the board. This centralized assignment ensures consistent procedures, proper medical review standards, and impartial evaluation across the officer corps. The Surgeon General provides medical policy, and HQ Air Force Command (the top-level leadership) oversees overall governance, but the formal designation of the MTF for an MEB comes from AFPC/DPANM. An MEB isn’t automatically conducted at the originating MTF; the designated facility is chosen to maintain standardized, professional evaluation.
