American Red Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services personnel serve in nearly 1,000 chapters in the United States, on 109 military installations around the world and alongside our troops in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Kosovo and Afghanistan.

America's Military and The American Red Cross Partnership.

Today, when United States military personnel are deployed anywhere in the world, Red Cross workers are there as well providing emergency messages and a caring presence to service men and women separated from their families. Martin County Chapter volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide help. Our volunteers are trained interviewers who are kept current in all military policies and procedures. If you would like to become a volunteer for our Armed Forces Emergency Services please contact us today!

The American Red Cross has a unique mandate to educate the American public about the guiding principles and international humanitarian law (IHL) framework for conduct in warfare as set forth by the Geneva Conventions of 1949. International humanitarian law is the branch of international law that encompasses both humanitarian principles and international treaties that seek to save lives and alleviate suffering of both combatants and noncombatants during armed conflicts.

International Humanitarian Law Classes Courses on the Geneva Conventions, the Fundamental Principles, and international humanitarian law are offered by American Red Cross chapters. To take a class, please contact the American Red Cross Martin County Chapter.
