Prior to July 1983, the Phoenix MEPS, or AFEES, was located downtown Phoenix. In July 1983, it was relocated to a national historical site. The new location was the Monroe School building, 215 N. 7th St. The tall columns supporting the front of the building and the rustic wood and glass entrance etched a lasting impression upon everyone who entered.

On 12 June 1998, the Phoenix MEPS moved to its present location at 1 North First Street, in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Our new facility is directly across the street from America West Arena, home of the Phoenix Suns, Mercury and Coyotes and is 3 blocks away from Bank One Ballpark, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. In addition to nearby sporting facilities, the Civic Plaza and Arizona Center are just a short walk away.

The Phoenix MEPS is one of a network of 65 MEPS located nationwide and in Puerto Rico.

A separate Department of Defense (DoD) agency, USMEPCOM is comprised of two geographical sectors and staffed with personnel from all military services.

The mission of USMEPCOM and the Phoenix MEPS is to process individuals for enlistment or induction into the armed services, based on DoD-approved peacetime and mobilization standards.

Three primary areas are considered in determining an applicant's qualifications for enlistment:

  • aptitude for military service
  • physical qualification
  • background evaluation screening
