U.S. military personnel are providing aid in Venezuela following two earthquakes on June 24, 2026. The amphibious transport dock USS Fort Lauderdale is berthed at La Guaira Port and serves as a communications, distribution, and medical hub. U.S. forces have delivered water, food, and other relief supplies to sites such as Simón Bolívar International Airport, where they also manage the airfield, coordinate traffic, and maintain security. Air Force cargo aircraft transported urban search and rescue teams. The State Department leads the government‑initiated relief effort, with additional U.S. military support being planned in close coordination with the Venezuelan government and international partners. Operations are directed by U.S. Southern Command and are self‑sustaining, requiring no local resources.
