The Army will treat all victims of sexual assault with dignity, fairness, and respect. The Army will treat every reported sexual assault incident seriously by following proper guidelines. The information and circumstances of the allegations will be disclosed on a need-toknow basis only. This policy applies— 1. Both on and off post and during duty and non-duty hours. 2.

The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is input from the people of the Army-to-Army leadership. It's a process that lets Soldiers and families say what's working, and what isn't - AND what they think will fix it.
It alerts commanders and Army leaders to areas of concern that need their attention and it gives them the opportunity to quickly put plans into place to work toward resolving the issues. |
AFAP was the brainchild of Army spouses.
Each AFAP success story originated as an idea that someone decided to pursue. The Army is the only branch of DOD that has such a program. Almost 500 issues have entered the AFAP in its 17-year history. Many AFAP improvements impact quality of life for all services. AFAP is year-round - issues are continually being monitored and worked toward resolution...at local levels, MACOMs, and HQDA. |
