MEPS Information
The Military Entrance Processing
Station (MEPS) plays a vital role in
maintaining the nation's military might
by ensuring that each new member of the
Armed Forces: The Army, Marines, Navy,
Air Force and Coast Guard; meets the
high mental, moral and medical standards
required by the Department of Defense
and the military services.
Every MEPS represents
the state of the art in testing, examining
and processing applicants for enlistment
into the Armed Forces. Each provides
"red-carpet" service to every
applicant with personalized, efficient
and professional attention.
Featuring modern facilities
and equipment, today's modern MEPS bears
little resemblance to the traditional
image of the drab "Induction Station"
known by previous generations of American
soldiers, Marines, Sailors, airmen and
Coast Guardsmen.
The MEPS Commander:
- Commands and controls the MEPS
as directed by the sector commander;
- Develops daily processing capability
allocations to local area recruiting
commanders;
- Coordinates matters of mutual
interest with the Interservice Recruiting
Committee (IRC) level commanders;
- Provides MEPS liaison to the
servicing civilian personnel office (CPO);
and
- Ensures that MEPS personnel receive
the professional development, mission,
and general subjects training required
by applicable regulations.
