More than 120 Team Robins members showed up to the Robins Blood Drive at the Fitness Annex today conducted by the Armed Services Blood Program. The ASBP is the official blood collection, manufacturing and transfusion program for the U.S. military. The mission of the ASBP is to provide quality blood products and services for all worldwide customers in both peace and war. As a tri-service organization, the ASBP represents all three services – Air Force, Army, and Navy – and is tasked with the collection, processing, storage and distribution of blood and blood products to ill or injured service members, veterans and their families worldwide. The program manages blood requests from the five major combatant commands by directing available blood supplies when and where needed. (U.S. Air Force photos by Misuzu Allen)
