Armed Forces Emergency Services – AFES
The American Red Cross provides round-the clock emergency communications between family members and service members. The Red Cross verifies information in order for military to grant emergency leave when needed. In cases where there are financial needs, assistance is provided in the form of grants or loans for the service member or family members. AFES is available 7 days a week 24 hours a day. A caseworker is always on duty to respond to a military case. Additionally, the Red Cross provides counseling, if needed, for the service person or family. AFES is a congressionally-charted and mandated service of the Red Cross.
