The incredible warfighters @Southcom are working closely with our @StateDept DART team to deploy unique U.S. military aviation and logistics assets to power a coordinated international response to the Venezuela earthquakes. America is leading the charge to save lives.
Partnerships in action to save lives in Venezuela:
@USMC MV-22 Ospreys transported an Argentine urban search and rescue team to affected areas to support earthquake relief efforts today.
At the direction of #SOUTHCOM, assigned U.S. military forces are supporting @StateDept-led U.S. disaster assistance to the people of Venezuela in the aftermath of the June 24, 2026, earthquakes.

Today, members of USA-01, working alongside local firefighters, rescued a mother & her nine-month-old baby from a collapsed structure. Both were found alive with only minor injuries, brought to safety to the cheers of neighbors.
This is our why: the delivery of hope.

Making all of us proud! @StateDept has four federalized 80-person heavy search and rescue teams from across the U.S. @VATF1, @LACOFD and @MiamiDadeFire on the ground in Venezuela and actively saving lives. Alongside our @Southcom and State response teams, they are leading a fast, big and focused life-saving response to this tragic disaster.
Earlier today, the men and women of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Florida Task Force 1 (#FLTF1) boarded a plane and began their mission to Venezuela.
Departing from Homestead Air Reserve Base with the support of @Southcom, they carry with them far more than specialized training and equipment. They carry compassion, hope, and commitment to stand beside those facing unimaginable hardship.
Behind every member of this team is a family they have hugged goodbye so they can answer the call of someone in need. That is the true meaning of service.
We could not be more proud of these extraordinary men and women. When disaster strikes, they don’t ask who needs help or where they are from, they are simply ready to respond and ready to serve. Their courage and selflessness remind us that humanity has no borders, and that sometimes the greatest act of kindness is simply showing up when someone needs you most.
From South Florida, second home to the largest Venezuelan population outside of South America, we ask that you keep all first responders in your thoughts as they represent our community with honor, compassion, and hope.
