Armed Services Blood Program-Europe (ASBP)

As the official Dept. of Defense blood organization, all the blood donated to the Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP) stays within the military, to save lives on and off the battlefield. Blood donations treat combat casualties as well as patients in military medical facilities…you can help US and other NATO military & families, retirees, DOD civilians and more.

SIGN UP to save lives in the military, 3 ways 

1. Sign up to DONATE Whole Blood at a BASE BLOOD DRIVE near you: 

Held monthly at Ramstein, held every 8+ weeks on installations near Landstuhl, annually at many other installations throughout Europe. Blood Types O and A are most needed, all are welcome. Appointments are HIGHLY encouraged, walk-ins are accepted when possible, but may have longer wait times.

2. Sign up to DONATE Platelets & Plasma at Landstuhl: 

Appointments available Monday-Thursday mornings at the Landstuhl Blood Donor Center. By appointment only.

3. Sign up to VOLUNTEER to support Base Blood Drives near you:

Earn volunteer hours supporting the military’s blood program! Help is most needed BEFORE blood drives (promotion and in-person Donor Signup Outreach). Volunteers can also help DURING blood drives (check-in donors, pass out snacks & gifts, help setup/teardown, etc.)

Donor Eligibility Information

Thanks to relaxed rules, nearly everyone over 18 with base access can donate blood now (including US/NATO military and families, Civilian and Local National staff, retirees and more)! The FDA completely removed the BSE "Mad Cow" disease restrictions regarding time spent in Europe/UK, now there’s only a 3-month wait after tattoos outside the US or travel to malaria-risk areas, and now all donors have the same HIV screening. See more Eligibility Info here or contact us with questions.

Units & Organizations needed to Sponsor Blood Drives 

Help your team build evaluation bullets and earn hours toward the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, while helping save lives! Sponsoring is NOT financial. Sponsors simply provide leadership engagement and volunteer support before and during a blood drive. ASBP-Europe brings the experienced blood drive team to do the rest. Leaders can also make a big impact by offering as authorized by DoD Regulations (no PT, time off/Pass/early release/late report, awards/recognition, double volunteer hours, CIV clothes day, etc.).
