What is a MARSGRAM?

You may use the "Next Page" button on bottom of this page to send a MARSGRAM message to active duty personnel in all branches of the US Armed Forces as well as their immediate families worldwide.   Messages entered into this site will be sent directly through the USAF MARS Region 5 Radio System and will be delivered to a MARS Radio Station nearest to the destination for delivery.

What is MARS?  MARS is the Military Affiliate Radio System and is a Department of Defense sponsored emergency organization.  The primary mission of MARS is to provide emergency communications on an international, national and local basis.  You can find out more about the United States Air Force MARS system by visiting the Headquarters USAF MARS Home Page.

Your Email address is not required, but if you do not provide it, then we will have no way of informing you of any problems in the delivery of your message.

Message text must be in plain English with no more than 50 words (350 characters).  Anything over 350 characters will be automatically chopped off.

The recipient of your message may send you a reply, via the MARS station delivering your message.  Any reply will be delivered to you, via telephone, by a MARS station close to your location.

We in the USAF MARS Region 5 hope that this service is of value to you and your loved ones.  Please send any feedback to the Region 5 Webmaster.
