Needs and Uses: The DD Forms 3040, 3040-1, 3040-2, and 3040-3, are used during the Family Member Travel Screening process when active duty Service members with Permanent Change of Station order request Command sponsorship for accompanied travel to remote or outside continental U.S. installations. These forms document any special medical, dental, and/or educational needs of dependents accompanying the Service member to assist in determining the availability of care at a gaining installation. This standardized collection of information is required by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2010 (NDAA), 10 U.S.C. 136 and the DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1315.19, “The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP).” The NDAA 2010 established the Office of Special Needs (OSN) and tasked the office with 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.
