Armed Forces have highly skilled medical staff as part of their fighting force, why does the American Red Cross send its members into battle?
In 1905, the U.S. Congress granted a charter to the American Red Cross that required it to act “in accord with the military authorities as a medium of communication between the people of the United States and their armed forces.” Since then, the Red Cross has provided communications and other humanitarian services to help members of the U.S. military and their families around the world. Living and working in the same difficult situations and dangerous environment as U.S. troops, Red Cross staff have given comfort to soldiers thousands of miles from home by providing emergency messages, about deaths and births, for example, comfort kits and blank cards for troops to send home to loved ones.
