Humanitarian Aid Mission for Venezuela
1st Combat Camera Squadron
Video by Senior Airman Nathaniel Stout
Feb. 16, 2019 | 2:55
Three U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster IIIs deliver humanitarian aid from Homestead Air Reserve Base, FL to Cucuta, Colombia February 16, 2019. This mission was planned at the request of the U.S. Secretary of State, in close coordination with USAID and with the approval of the government of Colombia. The role of the U.S. military during this peaceful mission is to transport urgently needed aid to Colombia for eventual distribution by relief organizations on the ground for Venezuelans impacted by the rapidly deteriorating crisis in their country. This humanitarian mission underscores the United States’ firm commitment and readiness to respond to the man-made political, economic, and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
