AFCAS 2026 is live – have your say!
The Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) is now open!
The annual Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) is an opportunity for Service personnel to share views on working conditions, living conditions, and day-to-day Service and family life.
Complete the survey to have your say!
Why is AFCAS important?
AFCAS is not only a chance for Service personnel to share their views on important matters, but also a vital way for Defence to hear from you and develop policies and initiatives to better support you in your Service and family life.
This survey helps Defence to gain a better understanding of your needs about:
- Service life
- Accommodation
- Catering and Retail
- Deployments
- Allowances and Pensions
- Service complaints/Service Complaints Ombudsman
- Armed Forces Covenant
- Factors influencing intentions to stay/leave the Armed Forces
- Defence Estate, e.g., training facilities, opportunities for sport and much more.
If you are a Service person who has been invited to take part in this year’s survey, you will receive an email with information on how to complete the survey. To see if you’re eligible to take part in AFCAS, check the eligibility tool.
Your Service number – which is case sensitive – is the token you need to enter; you will then be directed to the survey if you are in this year’s sample.
If you are not in the sample, you can still have your say by completing a short survey via the eligibility tool. Please be assured that your responses will be confidential.
Every response counts…
The more people that take the survey, the more able Defence is to help you in areas that will make your Service and family life easier. Make your voice count.
