EFMP stands for Exceptional Family Member Program, a military term abbreviation.

Mandatory program for service members whose family members have special medical or educational needs, ensuring assignments are considered only where required care and services are available.

Example: Our son's EFMP enrollment ruled out the remote assignment in Turkey.

Usage notes

Enrollment is required for qualifying conditions, but families sometimes worry it will limit career options. EFMP also connects families with family support services. The Defense Department has standardized parts of the program across services in recent years.
