In keeping with the tri-service outlook of the Federation, the members' forum is presently hosted on the unofficial Royal Navy and Royal Marines online community, 'Rum Ration'.

BAFF provides a voice on behalf of its members to the MOD and other Government Departments, Parliament, devolved governments and the media.
Campaigns include a new campaign for recognition of a representative professional staff association for the armed forces.
