The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is one of the Army's principle
programs to ensure that well-being in the Army keeps pace with changing
times. By giving soldiers (active & reserve), civilian employees and
families the opportunity to make input into and influence their own
standards of living, the AFAP helps the Army attract and retain a
well-qualified, high-caliber force; foster soldier and family
satisfaction; and stand up programs that encourage confident,
self-sufficient soldiers and family members.
