AER works closely with which organization?

The American Red Cross is a key partner for Army Emergency Relief (AER) because both organizations share a common goal of providing support and assistance to soldiers and their families. The American Red Cross offers services such as emergency communications, financial assistance in times of crisis, and a range of health and safety training programs. By collaborating with the Red Cross, AER is able to enhance its ability to serve soldiers by effectively meeting their emergency needs and providing resources in situations like deployment or other personal crises.

While other organizations such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Army Community Service play important roles in various areas of support, the American Red Cross specifically complements the mission of AER directly related to individual service member and family assistance.
