Jeremy Rodriguez is a former United States Army Special Operations Combat Medic with 13 years of distinguished service. He deployed five times with the elite 75th Ranger Regiment, where he provided lifesaving medical care in some of the most demanding combat environments in the world. Transitioning from ground operations to the cockpit, he went on to serve as a helicopter pilot with the 7-17 Cavalry Regiment.
Following his military career, Jeremy continued his aviation and medical service overseas as a contract helicopter pilot, conducting medical evacuations and mission support across Northwest and East Africa. His experience in high-risk, resource-limited environments underscored the urgent need for emergency airlift capabilities at home, leading him to establish Rapid Response Airlift.
Currently, Jeremy supports SpaceX cargo and astronaut recovery missions, as well as helicopter operations for the U.S. Air Force Pararescue training pipeline—missions that demand precision, speed, and reliability under pressure.
Today, as the Founder and Executive Director of Rapid Response Airlift, Jeremy integrates his expertise in emergency medicine, aviation, and crisis response to build an organization dedicated to disaster relief services, saving lives, and delivering aid when disaster strikes.
Rapid Response Airlift was founded in October 2024, in the wake of Hurricane Helen's devastating impact on the Southeastern United States. This hurricane not only isolated communities but also tragically claimed the lives of over 200 individuals. While supporting emergency airlift operations in Charlotte, NC, founder Jeremy Rodriguez noticed that much of the disaster relief services were being conducted by local pilots utilizing small planes and helicopters. The lack of available state and federal aviation assets during the immediate aftermath of the disaster motivated him to establish Rapid Response Airlift.
The organization's primary goal is to rapidly mobilize to a disaster area and integrate with local state and federal teams. With a fleet of aircraft and professional qualified personnel positioned in strategic locations across the country, Rapid Response Airlift provides disaster relief services through emergency airlift operations, aiming to significantly impact the number of lives saved and the amount of aid delivered to affected areas.
