Answering the call in Venezuela: In the critical days after devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela, the U.S. military quickly marshaled air assets from across the U.S. to power an air bridge that continuously transported first responders and disaster assistance to hard-hit areas. Cargo planes, vertical lift aircraft, and helicopters proved vital to international efforts to save lives in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. At the direction of #SOUTHCOM, the U.S. military supported @StateDept-led U.S. government relief operations in the country. @DeptofWar @The24MEU @USMC @usairforce @USNavy @USArmy @WHAAsstSecty @USForeignAssist @USAenEspanol @usembassyve
