AFAP allows every sector of our blended military community to have a voice. Active-duty military members (all branches), Reserve and National Guard, Family members, retirees, surviving spouses, Department of Army Civilians and partner commands identify issues, prioritize, and elevate concerns important to maintaining quality standards of living in their military community to recommend change.
An AFAP issue is any issue or concern that affects the readiness and well-being of the community and can be submitted at any time. It is a process that allows community members to say what works, what does not work and how things can be changed to improve the quality of life within the military community. AFAP focus groups review, monitor, and track every issue until a resolution is found. Issues that can be resolved locally are sent to the appropriate directorate for resolution, resulting in ongoing community improvements, while other issues are directed to higher command level. AFAP issues alert commanders and Army leaders to areas of concern needing their attention and gives them the opportunity to quickly put plans into place to work toward resolving the issues.
Because of your voice, AFAP has contributed to significant accomplishments and changes in regulations and laws:
Have your voice heard! Anyone may submit an AFAP issue at any time. Log onto the AFAP Issue Management System (IMS) and submit a new issue. This process will allow for review, submission, escalation and tracking of issues.
Contact your local Army Community Service for questions or assistance with the AFAP Issue Management System.
