For service members entering the Disability Evaluation System (DES), the Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) conducts the medical evaluation on conditions that potentially affect the service members fitness for duty. The MEB is composed of two or more civilian or military physicians working for the Military Department concerned. The term sometimes refers to the MEB process. The MEB documents the service members condition and medical history with a narrative summary, sometimes referred to as the MEB report. The MEB can find that the member has one or more medical conditions that, individually or collectively, may render the member unfit to perform the duties of the members office, grade, rank, or rating, and refer the member to the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB).
