Army Family Action Plan

 

Got a great idea? See something that needs to be changed?  Then here's your chance!

The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) solicits input from Soldiers and Families, seeks to find solutions, and, when appropriate, forwards issues up the chain of command. To submit your issue, please complete the online AFAP Issue Form or print our AFAP Issue Form and drop off at Army Community Service. There is also a Teen AFAP Issue Form available where issues will get discussed during the annual Teen AFAP Conference.
