Army Family Action Plan

The Team Redstone Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is an Army-wide initiative to identify issues or concerns to improve the overall quality of life for Active Duty Soldiers, National Guard  and Army Reserve Soldiers, Retirees, and their Families as well as Department of the Army Civilians.

This process is used to identify the most critical well-being issues facing the Army today and present them to senior Army leadership for resolution:

  1. Issues are collected at the installation level through venues to include the Army Family Web Portal, the ICE Comment System, and/or calling Army Community Service.
  2. Issues that are able to be resolved at the local level are worked until deemed complete or unattainable.
  3. Issues that are beyond the scope of Redstone Arsenal and meet criteria are forwarded to the next level, Army Materiel Command (AMC).
  4. Issues not resolved at AMC may be sent to DA for inclusion into the AFAP process.
  5. Those issues at the DA level are reviewed and worked by the General Officer Steering Committee (GOSC) until completion.
