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 sends communications on behalf of family members
who are facing emergencies or other important events to members of the U.S. Armed Forces serving
all over the world.
These communications are delivered around-the-clock, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
While providing services to 1.4 million active duty personnel and their families, the Red Cross also
reaches out to more than 800,000 members of the National Guard and the Reserves and their
families who reside in nearly every community in America.

Cross to provide emergency communications that link them with their families back home, access to financial assistance, information and referral service and service for veterans.
Red Cross Service to Armed Forces personnel work in over 700 chapters in the United States, on 62 military installations around the world and with our troops in Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq.
