The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is input from the
people of the Army to Army Leadership. This process
allows Soldiers & Families to express their feelings in
regards to military life & how they are affected. This alerts
Commanders & Army Leaders to areas of concern which
require their attention & gives Command the opportunity
to quickly execute policies towards resolving any issues
Soldiers and Families may have to safeguard their well-being.
How Does AFAP Work?
•••
Submissions made by the community are collected
from the AFAP Designated Deposit Boxes which
are placed around the garrison or the ACS AFAP
Program Manager.
At the AFAP Conference; Soldiers (Active Duty,
National Guard and Reserve) Retirees, Surviving
Spouses, DA civilians and their Families identify,
develop and prioritize issues.
Once the issues have been identified, the Garrison
Commander will review the submissions and work
towards a solution. Unresolved Installation issues
are forwarded to the Regional AFAP. If the issues
are not resolved at the Regional level they are then
forwarded to the DA AFAP.
