Scope: Explain your concern, why it is a problem and who it affects. Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) Issue Guidelines An AFAP issue is any problem or concern you have regarding the quality of life within the Army. An issue can be one that will affect only the Fort Hood community, or one that will be effective Army-wide. It must contribute positively to the Army goal of readiness and retention and must be something that can be judged as attainable. Delegates comprising of Soldiers (both single and married), DA Civilians, Retirees, their Family members and Surviving Spouses will review every issue and prioritize the ones that they believe would make the greatest impact in improving the quality of life in the Total Army Force. Delegates reviewing an issue should be able to understand the problem or issue, understand why it is an issue, and understand how the issue could be resolved. If you have more than one issue, please complete an issue submission form for each. An AFAP issue is a powerful tool when utilized! Because of people like you, AFAP issues have resulted in 129 Legislative changes, 187 DOD or Army policy/regulatory changes and improved 212 programs or services/funding.
