If your loved one is away from home because of military duty and you need to get in touch with him or her in the event of an emergency, then the American Red Cross is there to assist.
When calling the Red Cross, please provide as much of the following information about the service member as is known:
Full name
Rank/rating
Branch of service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard)
Social Security Account number or date of birth
Military address
Information about the deployed unit and home base unit (for deployed service members only)
The Red Cross verifies this information and relays it to the appropriate command where it is up to the military whether the service member returns home. Remember, a service member can only come home in an emergency situation.
