MEB stands for what in the context of medical evaluation boards?

• A. Medical Board
• B. Medical Evaluation Board
• C. Medical Eligibility Board
• D. Mission Evaluation Board

Answer: (B)

Medical Evaluation Board is the formal review used when a service member has a medical condition that may prevent continued duty. The MEB gathers medical evidence, documents functional limitations, treatment, and prognosis, and determines whether the condition renders the member unfitting for duty. If unfitting, the MEB forwards the case for disability processing with the Physical Evaluation Board; if fit, the member can return to duty with appropriate care. The other terms don’t fit because they don’t reflect this specific process of evaluating fitness for duty and guiding subsequent disability actions.
