AERIAL RECOVERY'S MOST SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES ARE TO TRAIN AND DEPLOY HUMANITARIAN SPECIAL OPERATORS TO EFFECTIVELY RESPOND TO NATURAL DISASTERS AND MAN-MADE DISASTERS AND COMBAT SEX TRAFFICKING. MADE UP OF VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS FROM THEIR HEAL THE HEROES INITIATIVE, AERIAL TACKLES SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT RESCUE AND RESPONSE MISSIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE. AERIAL RECOVERY FOCUSES ON THREE CORE PILLARS, WHICH ALL WORK TOGETHER TO ACCOMPLISH THE CHARITY'S MISSION: 1. THE FIRST PILLAR IS THE "HEAL THE HEROES" INITIATIVE, WHICH GIVES VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING, AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAL AND FIND THEIR PURPOSE AGAIN. HEAL THE HEROES IS A 1 YEAR PROGRAM THAT STARTS BY FOCUSING ON HEALING, RETRAINING AND REPURPOSING THESE HEROES INTO WHAT WE CALL HUMANITARIAN SPECIAL OPERATORS. THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE PROGRAM VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS ARE PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE NOT ONLY THE HEALING THEY DESERVE BUT ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPURPOSE THEIR SKILL-SET INTO THE HUMANITARIAN SPACE. 2. THE SECOND PILLAR IS NATURAL & MAN-CAUSED DISASTER RELIEF. 'HEROES' FROM THE HEAL THE HEROES INITIATIVE ARE TRAINED AS HUMANITARIAN SPECIAL OPERATORS WHO DEPLOY TO NATURAL AND MAN-MADE DISASTERS ACROSS THE GLOBE TO PROVIDE HUMANITARIAN AID TO THOSE IN NEED. 3. POVERTY, DISASTERS, AND DESPERATION CREATE VULNERABILITY. TRAFFICKERS KNOW THIS, AND THEY PREY UPON THESE VULNERABLE PEOPLE. WHICH CONNECTS TO AERIAL RECOVERY'S THIRD PILLAR: ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING. HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS THE FASTEST-GROWING CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE IN THE WORLD TODAY. 49.6 MILLION PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY ENSLAVED FOR EITHER LABOR, SEXUAL EXPLOITATION, OR ORGAN HARVESTING. AERIAL RECOVERY TRAINS AND DEPLOYS 'HEROES' FROM THEIR HEAL THE HEROES PROGRAM AS HUMANITARIAN SPECIAL OPERATORS EMPOWERING THEM TO BE ABLE TO DEPLOY WORLDWIDE TO COMBAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING. THERE 'HEROES' WORK ALONGSIDE LOCAL POLICE, PROSECUTORS, AND SPECIAL TASK FORCES TO ASSIST IN SHUTTING DOWN THESE CRIMINAL OPERATIONS AND TO RESCUE CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS. AERIAL RECOVERY'S HIGHLY SPECIALIZED AND TRAINED TEAMS FIGHT TO ELIMINATE HUMAN TRAFFICKING THROUGH CONTINUOUS RECONNAISSANCE AND RESCUE MISSIONS ALONGSIDE PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. THE MAJORITY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ARE VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS.
