INSTRUCTIONS FOR DD FORM 2807-2,
MEDICAL PRESCREEN OF MEDICAL HISTORY REPORT
1. This form is to be completed by each individual who requires medical processing in accordance with Army Regulation 40-501
Chapter 2 standards, or Department of Defense Directive 6130.3, "Physical Standards for Appointment, enlistment, or Induction."
The form should be completed by the applicant with the assistance of the recruiter, parent(s), or guardian, as needed (see page 2).
2. This form replaces the existing medical prescreening form (DD Form 2246). The revisions are designed to ensure that medical
prescreening questions "used by recruiters and by U.S. Military Entrance Processing Command are specific, unambiguous and tied
directly to the types of medical separations most common for recruits during basic training and follow-on training" (per P.L. 105-85,
Div. A, Title V, S 532).
3. Use of this form will also facilitate efficient, timely, and accurate medical processing of individuals applying for service in the
United States Armed Forces or Coast Guard. The form is designed to assist recruiters in the medical pre-screening of applicants.
4. The individual completing the DD Form 2807-2 will submit the form, at a minimum, 1 processing day in advance to the MEPS
projected to process the individual. A minimum of 2 processing days in advance is required if support documentation (e.g., private
physicians paperwork, treatment records, etc.) is required to augment the MEPS CMO review.
