Army Family Action Plan (AFAP)

ims-landing-image_01.jpgThe Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is your platform to voice quality-of-life issues, feedback, ideas, and suggestions. It’s the best way to let Army leadership know what works, what doesn’t, and how you think problems can be resolved. It gives active- and reserve-component Soldiers, Army Civilians, retirees, survivors, and Family Members a powerful tool to help identify issues and concerns and shape the Army standard of living. 

Since 1983, over 700 issues have been raised at the Department of the Army level – and those have resulted in over 500 improvements for Soldiers, Families, and Army communities. 

AFAP issues have resulted in real changes, including these: 

  • Soldier paternity leave 
  • Military Thrift Savings Plan 
  • Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 
  • Distributed Soldier Montgomery GI Bill benefits to dependents 
  • Extended educational benefits for spouses 
  • Dedicated special needs space in Child and Youth Services (CYS) 
  • Exceptional Family Member Program enrollment eligibility for reserve-component Soldiers 
  • Dental and visual insurance coverage for federal employees 
  • Funding for Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) 
  • Standardized barracks security measures
