Customer Satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is an integral part of our day at Fort Detrick. To meet this need, an extensive customer service program has been established. Customer satisfaction is one of the major criteria elements that contributed to Ft. Detrick being honored as an Army Community of Excellence.
A Service Provider Manager has been appointed for each of our major services. The team, headed by the Installation Customer Service Coordinator, works side by side until you, the customer, are completely satisfied.
The Customer Care Team has been created to:
- Receive your concerns, suggestions, and praises, and resolve any areas of concern at the point of service using our current resources. We will provide continuous follow up until you are completely satisfied with the results.
- Make certain that all customers are aware of avenues of contact to our Customer Service Program. There are a number of ways to let your voice be heard. The new Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE) system, allows you to communicate directly with all of our service providers on the Installation by submitting an on-line comment card. There are also hard copy comment cards and comment card boxes for our customers in all service areas. Customers are free to call our customer service representatives for any customer service concerns and a dedicated 1-800 number has been created for your convenience.
- Conduct one-on-one Customer Outreach Meetings, Newcomer Briefings, Town Hall Meetings, and Focus-Group meetings to gain assurance that you are receiving the services and quality of goods you need now, and in the future.
The primary benefit derived from the Customer Care Team, is that you have one point of contact who will take care of all your needs. Requests are followed through to satisfactory conclusion, and follow-up is regular and consistent.
Because of you, Fort Detrick is an Army Community of Excellence!

Army Family Action Plan (AFAP)
AFAP allows every sector of the military to have a voice in raising quality well-being concerns to leadership. Some issues are dealt with at the local level, while others are forwarded to higher commands for resolution.
The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is a vehicle for providing input from the people of the Army to Army leadership. It's a process that lets soldiers and families say what's working, and what isn't - AND what they think will fix it. It alerts commanders and Army leaders to areas of concern that need their attention, and it gives them the opportunity to quickly put plans into place to work toward resolving the issues.
- Gives commanders a gauge to validate concerns and measure satisfaction
- Enhances Army's corporate image
- Helps retain the best and brightest
- Results in legislation, policies, programs and services that strengthen readiness and retention
- Safeguards well-being
