What assignment availability code is used for members pending a MEB?

Members pending a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) are assigned an availability code that reflects their status in terms of being fit for duty. The correct assignment availability code for members who are pending an MEB is Code 37. This code indicates that the airman is not available for assignment due to their medical condition, as they are undergoing the MEB process to determine their fitness for continued service.

This code is specifically designed to account for the unique circumstances of airmen who are in such a transitional state, ensuring that they are recognized as unavailable for new assignments until their medical condition is evaluated and appropriately addressed. Understanding the significance of this code is essential for managing personnel effectively and ensuring that those undergoing evaluations receive the necessary support and resources during this critical period.
