Who has review and approval authority over the AF Form 618, Medical Board Report?

• A. Medical treatment facility commander or their designee
• B. Physical Evaluation Board liaison officer
• C. Medical Evaluation Board president
• D. Attending physician

Answer: (A)

The key idea is who has the final sign-off on the medical board documentation. The medical treatment facility commander or their designee is the official reviewer and approving authority for the AF Form 618, Medical Board Report. This reflects the command's responsibility to oversee medical disposition and ensure the report accurately represents the service member’s medical status before it moves forward in the process. The Medical Evaluation Board president runs the board’s proceedings and the attending physician provides medical input, but neither alone grants the formal approval required for the 618. The PEB liaison handles coordination, not final authorization. So the commander or their designee is the person charged with the review and approval of the form.
