DA Form 7419-1: FAP Accreditation Checklist – Army Guide

DA Form 7419-1: FAP Accreditation Checklist – Army Guide – The U.S. Army Family Advocacy Program (FAP) supports Soldiers and their families facing unique military life challenges, including prevention, identification, reporting, investigation, intervention, and treatment of domestic abuse, child abuse and neglect, and problematic sexual behavior in children and youth (PSB-CY).

DA Form 7419-1 (August 2007) serves as the official Family Advocacy Program (FAP) Accreditation Checklist. It helps ensure Army installations meet rigorous standards for organization, management, prevention, education, investigation, assessment, treatment, and victim support under AR 608-1.

What Is DA Form 7419-1 Used For?

This 15-page form is an internal Army tool for garrison commanders, Army Community Service (ACS) centers, and Family Advocacy Program Managers (FAPMs). It evaluates compliance across key areas during accreditation reviews.

Main sections include:

  • Organization and Management (10000 series): Family Advocacy Committee (FAC), policies, strategic planning, staffing, and partnerships.
  • Prevention and Education (20000 series): Community programs, staff/commander training, and New Parent Support Program (NPSP) home visits.
  • Investigation and Assessment (30000 series): 24/7 reporting, mandated reporting, law enforcement coordination, and victim protection.
  • Additional areas covering treatment, case management, victim advocacy, fatality review committees, and program evaluation.

It replaced the older DA Form 7419-R and supports accreditation alongside related forms like DA Form 7419 (ACS Accreditation Checklist).

Why FAP Matters for Army Families?

Military families face unique stressors like deployments, frequent moves, and separation. FAP strengthens resilience through:

  • Skill-building workshops and counseling.
  • New Parent Support Program (NPSP) home visits for at-risk families.
  • Victim advocacy and safety planning for domestic abuse.
  • Prevention education on healthy relationships and recognizing abuse.
  • Coordinated response with medical, legal, law enforcement, and community partners.

FAP promotes healthy family relationships, ensures victim safety, and supports Soldier readiness by addressing issues early and non-punitively where possible.

Who Should Use or Reference DA Form 7419-1?

  • Installation leadership and FAP staff for program compliance and accreditation.
  • Soldiers and families seeking information on available support services.
  • Commanders needing guidance on reporting and response protocols per AR 608-18.
