The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is input from the people of the Army to Army leadership. It’s a unique Army process that allows Soldiers and families say what’s working, what isn’t and what could work. Many AFAP improvements impact quality of life for all services.

Thinking About Becoming an AFAP Delegate?If you are a Soldier, retiree, civilian, family member–active, guard or reserve–you can be a delegate! Delegates represent the Army Family, review and prioritize all submitted issues, select three most impor-tant issues and recommend solutions.

2011 AFAP Symposium / November 3–4The Symposium will take place at Barden Education Center. Con-

tact the AFAP office for more information.

Army Volunteer Corps ProgramAt its heart, AVC transforms communities and impacts
