Which of the following describes the MEB's composition?

• A. SGH-Board President; MTF Commander or designee — review and approval authority
• B. SGH-Board President
• C. MTF Commander
• D. Hospital administrator

Answer: (A)

The question tests who makes up the Medical Evaluation Board and who has the authority to finalize its recommendations. The best description combines the SGH-Board President and the MTF Commander or a designee who has review and approval authority. The SGH-Board President provides medical governance and ensures the findings are grounded in clinical evidence, while the MTF Commander or designee brings the necessary command authority to review and approve the final disposition—such as medical retirement, duty limitations, or return to duty. This pairing ensures medical conclusions are correctly interpreted within military policy and that the final decision is actionable. Relying on only one role misses either the medical oversight or the command-level approval, and a hospital administrator alone typically lacks the authority required to review and approve MEB outcomes.
