What is AFAP?

The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is input from the people of the Army to Army leadership. It lets soldiers, civilians, retirees and family members say what is working and what isn't. And, what they think should be fixed.

·         Gives commanders a gauge to validate concerns and measure satisfaction.

·         Helps the Army keep up with changing times.

·         Creates solutions that use dollars wisely.

·         Safeguards Army quality of life.

How it works:

Installations hold AFAP forums where soldiers (active and retired), DA civilians, and family members identify issues that they believe are important for maintaining a good quality of life. The Commander ensures issues are worked.

Some issues are applicable beyond the local level and are forwarded to MACOM AFAP conferences and to the HQDA Worldwide conference, where many of them are put into the Plan.
