VSOA Deployment

South of the Equator: Brazil Deployment

At the request of the Government of Brazil and in coordination with the FABv group, our Special Operations Wing (VSOA) has deployed to support disaster response amid historic flooding and severe weather driven by the "Super El Niño" pattern. The anticipated deployment period runs October 2026 through February 2027. VSOA fixed-wing crews are conducting critical care transports and medical logistics cargo shuttling between the United States and Brazil, while our rotor-wing VSOA pilots are tasked with HEMS and SAR missions across the flood-affected regions. Track stationed aircraft and recent relief missions on the interactive map below.
