Racing the clock and clearing bottlenecks to help save lives in Venezuela: Since mobilizing to Simón Bolívar International Airport in the aftermath of the earthquakes, the @usairforce Contingency Response Element (CRE) has been vital in accelerating the flow of critical relief through the airport and to the frontlines. The CRE has assisted air traffic control operations, airfield management and cargo handling — working shoulder-to-shoulder with Venezuelan aviation officials and international response teams to maximize the impact of this critical lifeline. At the direction of #SOUTHCOM, the U.S. military is supporting @StateDept-led U.S. government relief operations following the June 24 earthquakes. @DeptofWar @WHAAsstSecty @USForeignAssist @USAenEspanol @usembassyve
