What is Military Mail (MIL)?

Military Mail is a special mail system used by the US Army to send and receive mail to and from soldiers stationed overseas or deployed in combat zones. The system is designed to ensure that mail reaches its intended recipient quickly and efficiently, despite the challenges of international mail delivery.

How does Military Mail work?

Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Addressing: When sending mail to a soldier, use the following format: "Soldier's Name, Unit Designator, APO/FPO [Zip Code]" (e.g., "John Doe, 1st Bn, 1st Inf Regt, APO AE 09342-0001").
  2. Sorting: Mail is sorted at the local post office and sent to a Military Mail Processing Center (MPC) in the United States.
  3. Transportation: Mail is then transported to the destination country via air or sea.
  4. Delivery: Mail is delivered to the soldier's unit or base, where it's sorted and distributed to the intended recipient.

Tips and Reminders

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your mail reaches your loved one in the military quickly and safely.
