Aerial Recovery’s mission is to:
SAVE LIVES & STOP EVIL
Aerial Recovery trains and deploys Humanitarian Special Operators to effectively respond to natural and man-made disasters and to combat sex trafficking.
Made up of Veterans and First Responders, Aerial Recovery tackles some of the most difficult rescue and response missions across the globe.
Through the Heal the Heroes initiative, veterans, first responders & anti-human trafficking operators first receive the healing they deserve and are then given the opportunity to cross-transfer their expertise and training into the Humanitarian space: aligning purpose, passion, and impact.
These Humanitarian Special Operators are then redeployed to disaster zones to save lives and to rescue the vulnerable on anti-human trafficking missions.
Our heroes’ vast training and years of experience in austere environments, combined with the resources and aid of partner non- profit organizations allows for highly effective missions and sustainable projects that save people’s lives, ease their suffering, and preserve human dignity.
To date, Aerial Recovery’s Humanitarian Special Operators have rescued over 8,000 people.
