Request for Humanitarian Assignment

A Request for Humanitarian Assignment is a document used by service members to seek reassignment to a different duty station due to extreme personal or family circumstances. Key features include:

1. Personal and service information of the applicant

2. Detailed description of the humanitarian situation

3. Explanation of why reassignment is necessary to address the situation

4. Proposed duty location and duration of assignment

5. Supporting documentation (e.g., medical records, letters from healthcare providers)

This request allows service members to formally apply for a temporary or permanent change in duty station to address severe personal or family hardships, such as serious illness of a family member or other extraordinary circumstances that require the service member’s presence in a specific location.
