The ASBP Office (ASBPO) is chartered by the Department of Defense (DoD) to coordinate the provisions of blood products throughout the Services to meet medical requirements during national emergencies and overseas military operations. To ensure these requirements are met, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) [ASD(HA)] provides overall policy guidance in blood program matters. The ASBPO coordinates implementation of the ASD(HA) policies, Guidance Documents, and the DoD procedures for the ASBP.
