The Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP) is the official
U.S. military blood program. Providing an opportunity for
service members, their families, and civilians to support
our military in a definitive, meaningful way, the ASBP is a
direct connection between those who give and the sick
and injured who need their help.
To provide quality blood products and services for all
worldwide customers in peace and war.
To be a preeminent quality, cost effective blood system
providing blood products and services wherever and
whenever needed.
Blood and blood products are used for patients of all ages
for many reasons. From cancer patients or surgical patients,
to those with battlefield injuries—military members
depend on blood donors every day. By giving blood to the
ASBP, you ensure life-saving blood products are available
whenever and wherever service members and their families
are in need.
Donors from all services, government employees, retirees,
military family members, and civilians can donate to the
ASBP. Though travel to certain areas, some medications,
and medical conditions may temporarily, indefinitely, or
permanently restrict donation, most healthy adults are
eligible to give blood. To find out more about eligibility
visit the
Can I Donate? page.

Blood Donor Centers page. In addition to collecting
blood at their facilities, many blood donor centers “take
the show on the road” and conduct mobile blood drives.
