Hawaii Army Family Action Plan
The HAFAP is the US Army, Hawaii’s component of the Army Family Action Plan (AFAP), a program that directly impacts the well-being of soldiers and Army families. Issues of concern are solicited directly from community members, provided to leaders, and worked toward resolution.

The AFAP and our "feed" into it, the HAFAP, is unique among the military services. Approximately fifty percent of AFAP issues are applicable across the Department of Defense. It is a powerful tool, giving Soldiers and families a voice, and leader’s real-time information. To date, AFAP results include 97 changes to legislation, 140 Army and OSD policies, and more than 157 programs and services initiated or improved.

The AFAP operates at every level, with annual forums of some type held at installations, MACOMs, and HQDA. Soldier and family participation is the backbone of the program. It is the input that these community-minded individuals make, based on their experience and knowledge that leads to the new programs, improved services, and policy and legislative changes that make a real difference in the Army’s well-being. Leaders believe in AFAP – it gives them real-time information on satisfaction, concerns and problems. This program also contributes to readiness and retention because soldiers and families actively participate in the planning of the well-being of the Army. This is your chance to make a difference.

Submit Your Issue Additional Information
The AFAP process clearly defines a framework for fixing things. The establishment of a committee at the Garrison level of administration is recommended by DA and can be a significant ingredient in a systems approach to managing the dialogue within the community that centers on the discussion of quality of life issues and leads to their resolution. The Garrison Commander’s Steering Committee meets at least quarterly to monitor and consolidate issues that are raised in arenas other than the annual symposium. Staff agencies must report on the status of those issues in their arena at these meetings. They are also are encouraged to provide interim reports and information on the status of issues by using all means of publicity and communication in the community. Issues entered into the HAFAP are not deemed complete until the Garrison Commander determines that an action plan is fully in place to resolve every recommendation brought forward by the delegates.
