Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) Section

The MEB Section at Madigan Army Medical Center is dedicated to supporting Soldiers and Units through the Physical Disability Evaluation System (PDES).   The system evaluates medical fitness for duty and disability compensation (when applicable) for Soldier's with significant injuries or illnesses.  The PDES' objectives are to:

• Maintain an effective and fit military organization with maximum use of available manpower.
• Provide benefits for eligible soldiers whose military service is terminated because of service-connected disability.
• Provide prompt disability processing while ensuring that the rights and interests of the government and the soldier are protected.

To find out more about the process, the following Slide Presentations are available for both Commands and Soldiers undergoing an MEB:
