    Needs and Uses: The DD Forms 3040, 3040-1, 3040-2, 3040-3, and

developing, implementing, and overseeing comprehensive policies 
surrounding assignment and support for these military families. 
Additionally, per DoDI 1315.19, military departments are required to 
screen family members of active duty Service members for special needs 
and to coordinate assignments for Service members enrolled in the EFMP 
to verify if necessary medical and/or educational services are 
available at the next assignment.
