Operation Pulse Lift Goes Global, Saving U.S. Military Lives
Civil Air Patrol volunteers supported blood drives at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy, helping collect 1,581 units—enough to save nearly 5,000 lives worldwide.
In January, U.S. Army officer cadets and U.S. Navy midshipmen, along with faculty and staff from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, came together to compete in what is now known as Civil Air Patrol’s Operation Pulse Lift “Blood Bowl.”
