Military Members and Families
Today's American Red Cross is keeping pace with the
changing military. Using the latest in computer and
telecommunications technology, the Red Cross allows military
members stationed all over the world to send messages to loved
ones back home during an emergency or other important events.
These communications are delivered around-the-clock, seven
days a week, 365 days a year.

While serving 1.4 million active duty personnel, the Red
Cross also reaches out to the 1.5 million members of the
National Guard and the Reserves who reside in nearly every
local community in America.
Hundreds of Red Cross chapters brief departing service
members and their families regarding available support
services and explain how the Red Cross may assist them during
the deployment. Both active duty and community-based military
can count on the Red Cross to provide emergency
communications that link them with their families back
home, access to financial
assistance, counseling
and assistance
to veterans.
Red Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services personnel serve
in nearly 900 chapters in the United States, on 108 military
installations around the world and alongside our troops in
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
