American Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces Signs Historic Agreement With Military Entrance...

The American Red Cross, alongside the United States Military Entrance Processing Command, is celebrating the signing of a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to present the Red Cross Emergency Communication brief to new military recruits.
“The MEPS command is committed to setting the expectation with all 66 MEPS stations to present the Red Cross brief to 100% of shippers,” said Dr. Michael Jordan, Vice President of Service to the Armed Forces and International Services at the American Red Cross. “It’s a bold and extraordinary commitment that will benefit all new recruits.”
Through the Red Cross ‘Get To Know Us Before You Need Us’ program, new enlistees and their families are able to ask questions about military family life and learn how Red Cross services can help before, during and after deployment.
“We share information that basically says, ‘if your family has an emergency, or if you have an emergency, you both need to know how to call the Red Cross and initiate Emergency Communication,” said Joshua Cain, Director of Service to the Armed Forces and International Services at the Red Cross and Army Veteran. “The signing of the MOU gives us sustainability for this program for years to come and helps us get military families the support they need.”
