This publication implements Air Force Policy Directive 36-29, Military Standards, and supplements
Department of Defense instruction (DoDI) 1342.19, Family Care Plans. It provides guidance and
procedures on the implementation, execution, and management of the family care plan program. In
collaboration with the Chief of the Air Force Reserve (AF/RE), the Director of the Air National
Guard (NGB/CF) and the Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Human Capital (SF/S1), the Deputy
Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel, and Services (AF/A1) develops personnel policy for the
Department of the Air Force family care plan publication. This publication applies to civilian
employees (where noted in publication) and uniformed members of the Regular Air Force, the United
States Space Force, the Air Force Reserve, and the Air National Guard. This publication may be
supplemented at any level; all major command level supplements must be approved by the Human
Resource Management Strategic Board prior to certification and approval. The DoDI is printed word-
for-word in regular font without editorial review. Department of the Air Force supplementary
material is printed in bold font and indicated by “(ADDED)(DAF)”. Refer recommended changes
and questions about this publication to the office of primary responsibility (OPR) using the
Department of the Air Force (DAF) Form 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication; route
DAF Forms 847 from the field through the appropriate functional chain of command. Failure to
obey the prohibitions and mandatory provisions in Enclosure 3, paragraph 1.e.1.a.i. constitutes
a violation of Article 92(1), UCMJ—failure to obey lawful order or regulation. Article 92(1) of
the UCMJ does not apply to members of the ANG while in Title 32 status (that is, activated for
state duty under state command), but ANG members may be subject to an equivalent article
under a state military justice code. Violations of these provisions by civilian employees may
result in administrative action being taken without regard to other applicable criminal or civil
sanctions for violations of related laws. The authorities to waive wing, unit, or delta level
requirements in this publication are identified with a Tier (“T-0, T-1, T-2, T3”) number following
the compliance statement. See DAFMAN 90-161, Publishing Processes and Procedures, for a description
of the authorities associated with the Tier numbers. Submit requests for waivers through the chain of
command to the appropriate Tier waiver approval authority, or alternately, to the publication OPR
for non-tiered compliance items. Ensure all records generated as a result of processes prescribed in
this publication adhere to AFI 33-322, Records Management and Information Governance Program,
