Reserves and
National
Guard
Just like
active duty
military
members,
civilian-based
military
members also
benefit from
American Red
Cross
services.
The Red
Cross
supports the
nearly 1.2
million
members of
the Reserves
and National
Guard when
they are
living in
their local
communities
and when
they are
mobilized.
Red Cross
services are
also
available to
members of
the Reserve
Officers
Training
Corps, U.S.
Coast Guard,
Commissioned
Corps of the
U.S. Public
Health
Service,
U.S. Army
Corps of
Engineers,
recruiters,
retirees and
to their
families.
The American
Red Cross
wants
members of
the National
Guard,
Reserves and
other
community-based
military
personnel to
get to know
us before
you need us.
All too
often,
members of
the Reserves
and National
Guard don't
know about
available
Red Cross
services
until they
are
mobilized.
Knowing in
advance that
communication
links,
access to
financial
assistance
and
counseling
will be
available in
an emergency
brings peace
of mind to
the military
and to the
families
from whom
they are
separated.
Similarly,
knowing that
Red Cross
services are
available to
inactive
service
members and
their family
members
provides a
safety net
in times of
need.
Red Cross
services for
members of
the Reserves
and National
Guard
