The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is a grass-roots process beginning at the installation level that seeks input from the Total Army Family regarding significant quality of life issues that affect Soldiers, Civilians, Retirees, and their respective Families. The AFAP alerts Army Leadership on areas of concern that need attention and gives them the opportunity to put plans into place to work toward resolution. Issues must be within the overarching authority of DA to resolve.
