NAVPERS 1300/16 is used for which screening?

• A. Overseas assignment suitability
• B. Special program screening
• C. Fitness assessment
• D. Medical screening

Answer: (A)

This form is used to determine whether a service member is suitable for overseas duty. It collects information about personal and family circumstances—such as dependents, spouse employment, housing plans, and other factors that could affect an overseas tour—and flags any issues that might complicate deployment. The goal is to ensure the member and their family can handle the demands of overseas assignments and that the Navy can plan tours that fit the individual’s situation and readiness. This screening is specifically about overseas suitability, not medical status or fitness. Medical screening and fitness assessments involve different processes and forms, while screening for special programs uses other criteria and forms.
