The annual Army Family Action Plan Conference brought 53 delegates from
garrisons across the Army to discuss 51 issues important to families,
wounded warriors and Soldiers. After four days of workshop discussion,
groups presented their top issues to senior Army senior leaders March 2.
Issues were:
1. Survivor investment of military death gratuity and Service Members’
Group Life Insurance.
2. Transportation and per diem for service member’s family to attend
family therapy sessions.
3. Department of the Army Form 5893 "Soldier’s Medical Evaluation
Board/Physical Evaluation Board Checklist" language clarification.
4. Child, Youth and School Services facility-based programs, one-on-one
assistance, and reduced adult/child rations for children with special needs.
5. Identification card for Gold Star lapel button recipients..
6. Commissary, Armed Services Exchange, and Morale, Welfare and Recreation
privileges for honorably discharged disabled veterans with 10 percent or
greater disability.
7. Creditable civil service career tenure requirements for federally
employed spouses of military service members and civilian federal employees.
8. Retention of wounded, ill and injured service members to minimum
retirement requirement.
Delegates also assessed which programs and services were most valuable. Last
year, delegates were asked to focus their assessment on programs dealing
with mobilization and deployment. But with the constrained resources and
troops coming home, this year they were asked to pick programs and services
most important now.
The top five responses for programs that are most valuable, or critical
were:
. Army Family Action Plan
. Survivor Outreach Services
. Army Emergency Relief
. Tuition Assistance
. Fitness programs and facilities
