INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING MFAP ISSUE CARD
Issues consist of three (3) parts –
a. Issue title should be short, simple,
and clear enough to identify the issue; it
should not be in sentence form.
b. Issue scope is written in paragraph
form. The scope is a clear, concise statement
that summarizes the well-being concern and
focuses on only one subject. The scope must be
at least three (3) sentences: the first sentence
states the current situation; the middle
sentence provides validation (facts); and the
last sentence states the impact of the issue.
The scope states a problem that does not offer a
solution. It answers, “What is the problem, and
why is it a problem?” A scope must meet these
criteria or be revised.
c. Recommendations are the end product
that will resolve the problem identified in the
scope. The recommendation is a clear, concise
statement that says what needs to be done. An
issue should have no more that three (3)
recommendations, and cannot duplicate existing
active issue recommendations. Recommendations
will not contain lead agency identification or
timelines. Each should begin with a measurable
verb such as change, publish, establish,
followed by the desired result (for example,
Institute a career management program for
enlisted personnel that mirrors the program
available to officers).
** Issues that do not conform to the above
listed issue criteria cannot be used. However,
if name, telephone number or electronic mail
information for the submitter is provided,
contact will be made only to revise an issue so
that it conforms to the criteria and then it
will be submitted through the MFAP process.
