notification process in the event of an emergency and/or the death of
the member. This requirement is identified in DoDI 1300.18,
``Department of Defense Personnel Casualty Matters, Policies, and
Procedures.'' The goal is to retain decisions by service members and
deploying contractors relating to persons to be notified in the event
of illness, injury, missing status, or death and to capture decisions
as it relates to the provision of benefits and designation of a person
authorized to direct disposition of their remains upon death. Support
staff are able to direct benefits and decisional briefings to those
designated as beneficiaries and decision makers as designated by the
Service member or deploying contractor.
