Airmen must designate one immediate family member as the person authorized to direct disposition of their remains should they become a casualty.
The PADD designation will become a part of the member’s Record of Emergency Data as required by law. Airmen will add their PADD information to their virtual Record of Emergency Data by following the instructions in the Virtual MPF.
Personnel at deployed locations need to contact their personnel support for contingency operations team to update their record. PADD information should include the designated person’s name, relationship to member, address with zip code and telephone number.
The PADD will be responsible for the disposition of remains only. The member is still required to designate separately the recipient(s) of any other benefits and entitlements.

1 – March 28 to April 3
