Abstract: This information collection requirement is necessary to gather the required data for determining eligibility to join the Armed Forces and for establishing personal records on those enlisting. USMEPCOM Form 680-3A-E serves as the initial medical release authorization, processing checklist and security verification form for applicants applying for military service to record qualification requirements. Information collected on USMEPCOM Form 680-3A-E is transferred electronically into DD Form 1966 and helps decrease administration time required to complete the applicant's record.
