What this publication covers
AR 608-75 is the Exceptional Family Member Program regulation. Its contents organize program management, policy, and procedures, making it the focused reference for EFMP research. Readers preparing for an assignment or seeking family support should distinguish the program's responsibilities from the broader reassignment and overseas service rules. A family support need and an assignment decision are connected without being interchangeable.
Begin with the program function involved and the responsible EFMP or personnel office. AR 608-1 supplies the broader Soldier and family readiness context, while AR 600-8-11 and AR 614-30 address reassignment processing and overseas service. The official program text is needed for individual circumstances. This guide identifies the relevant references but does not assess a medical or educational need, approve enrollment, predict an assignment, or promise that a specific location can provide particular services.
