1. The Armed Forces Action Plan (AFAP) is input from the people of the Armed Forces to Army Leadership. This
process allows Service Members & Families to express their feelings in regards to military life & how they are
affected. This alerts Commanders & Army Leaders to areas of concern which require their attention & gives
Command the opportunity to quickly execute policies towards resolving any issues Soldiers and Families may have to
safeguard their well-being.
Submissions are collected from the AFAP Designated Deposit Boxes placed around the community or the ACS AFAP
Program Manager. You can also submit an issue on line at http://www.hamiltonmwr.com/afap.php
AFAP is year-round. Issues are continually monitored & worked on to create positive changes. Many AFAP issues
have improved and made great impact on the quality of life in the Army.
