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 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 work in nearly 900
chapters in the United States, on 79 military installations around
the world and with our troops in Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq.
