AM25-ST-16-L - The Changing Landscape of Conflict: Armed Services Blood Program Supporting the Warfighter Through Partnerships and Blood Product Innovations

Saturday, October 25, 2025
1:45 PM - 2:45 PM  PT
Room: SDCC 25
Warfighter readiness relies heavily on the Armed Services Blood Program’s (ASBP) continued growth and innovation efforts. This educational session will provide participants with a detailed examination of ASBP’s current events and strategic approach to delivering quality blood products across the range of military operations. This presentation will bring together U.S. military Service Blood Program Officers (Army, Navy, and Air Force) who will each provide insight to the multifaceted approaches to advance blood product capabilities on the future battlefield, such as dried plasma, group A whole blood, policy updates and training requirements.

Learning Objectives:

  • Provide an appreciation for the current operational successes and challenges within the Armed Services Blood Program enterprise both domestically and overseas.
  • Examine the coordinated efforts between the Army, Navy, and Air Force blood programs to ensure there is a ready reserve of blood products in combat environments.
  • Discuss the importance of and intended application of dried plasma products, cryopreserved platelets, and Group A whole blood.
  • Explore policy, training, and data management efforts needed to expand blood availability for mass hemorrhage events in austere locations.
