Corps mail
Corps mail refers to the postal system used by the United States military to send and receive mail between military personnel and their families. The term "corps" in this context refers to the military unit or organization, rather than the physical body.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has a special agreement with the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide mail services to military personnel and their families. This agreement allows the USPS to deliver mail to military bases and other military facilities around the world.
Corps mail is typically handled through the following process:
- Mail is sent to the military base or facility where the recipient is stationed.
- The mail is sorted and processed at the base or facility, and then sent to the USPS for further processing.
- The USPS sorts and delivers the mail to the recipient's address.
Corps mail is subject to certain restrictions and regulations, including:
- Mail must be addressed to the recipient's military unit or base, rather than their home address.
- Mail must be marked with the recipient's military rank and name.
- Mail may be subject to censorship or inspection by military authorities.
- Mail may be delayed or restricted due to security concerns or other factors.
Corps mail is an important way for military personnel to stay in touch with their families and loved ones while they are serving overseas. It is also a way for families to receive important updates and news from their loved ones who are serving in the military.
