Who makes up the Medical Evaluation Board (MEB)?

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

Answer: (D)

The MEB is made up of two key figures to ensure both medical judgment and proper command authorization. The SGH-Board President brings independent medical leadership to interpret findings and guide the evaluation, while the MTF Commander or their designee provides the review and approval authority to formalize the disposition. This pairing guarantees that medical conclusions are medically sound and that the final decision has clear managerial approval within the unit. If only one role were present, there would be a gap—without the board president, there’s a lack of medical governance; without the command authority, the disposition wouldn’t have proper official sanction. Including both roles ensures appropriate governance and accountability.
