Armed
Services Blood Program (ASBP)
The Armed Services Blood Program collects blood from the military community,
for the military community—providing a connection between those
who give and the sick and injured who need their help. Though
there are civilian agencies that also collect and process blood,
the ASBP is the only one operated by the military to meet military
blood needs. Those who donate blood through the ASBP directly
support their friends in need at military medical treatment facilities
at home and troops deployed worldwide.
Who can Give?
Donors from all Services, government employees, retirees, and military
family members are eligible to help others in the military community
by donating blood through ASBP. Though travel to certain areas
and some medical conditions and medications may temporarily or
permanently restrict donation, most healthy adults are eligible
to give blood.
