Armed Forces Action Plan (AFAP) program on JBLM is inclusive of all branches of the military community in providing the opportunity to influence the quality of life and standard of living. At other installations, Army garrisons, and higher headquarters, the program is known as the Army Family Action Plan (AFAP).
Through AFAP, all Service members, retirees, spouses, DA civilians and Family members have a forum to voice concerns and make recommendations for change. This grassroots process identifies and elevates the most significant quality of life issues impacting the military community to senior leadership for action.
If you are a Service member, retiree, surviving spouse, DA Civilian, or Family member - Active, Guard or Reserve - you can be part of the AFAP process. For more information, contact AFAP via email.
