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.
Red Cross workers in hundreds of chapters and on military
installations 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 work in nearly 900
chapters in the United States,
on 74 military installations around the world and with our troops in Kuwait,
Afghanistan
and Iraq.
If you need assistance please call (405) 372-1833
and ask to speak to a military case worker.
