accompanying the Service member to assist in determining the

and tasked OSN with developing, implementing, and overseeing 
comprehensive policies surrounding assignment and support for these 
military families. Additionally, per DoDI 1315.19, military departments 
are required to screen family members of active-duty Service members 
for special needs and to coordinate assignments for Service members 
enrolled in the EFMP to verify if necessary medical and/or educational 
services are available at the next assignment.
