Who appoints the PEBLO?

The person who appoints the PEBLO is designated by the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) Commander. This ensures the PEBLO is part of the local disability evaluation process, has direct access to needed medical records, and can coordinate closely with the treating clinicians and the Physical Evaluation Board. Higher-level authorities like the Air Force Surgeon General set policy and oversight, and top-level officials such as the Base Commander or Secretary of the Air Force do not directly appoint individual PEBLOs. The MTF Commander is responsible for assigning and supervising the PEBLO to maintain proper workflow and accountability within the facility.
