Emergency Communications
In the event of an emergency, critical accident, illness or death in a service member’s immediate family, the American Red Cross should be called
at once.

The American Red Cross is the only agency authorized and equipped to verify the situation
and then forward the information to the proper military authorities. The American Red Cross is
not a government agency.

Should an emergency leave request be necessary, the information provided by the Red Cross is used by the commanding officer so that a decision as
whether or not to grant leave may be made.
