Jake Wood, known in the milblogosphere as "Badger Jake," is a former U.S. Marine who has been in Haiti for several days, setting up triage centers and bringing much-needed aid to earthquake victims there. The team he put together is comprised of other Marines, first responders, and two doctors (who volunteered to join him even as he was on board a plane on his way to the Dominican Republic to cross over into Haiti).
Jake's small but capable team is accomplishing things that larger organizations cannot. They are swift and strong, unfettered by bureaucracy, and doing incredible work. Follow Jake via his blog or on Twitter @TeamRubicon.
And if you have a few dollars to spare for the relief effort, in conjunction with other orgs you may be supporting, please consider a donation to help him bring down his second relief team (more doctors and supplies). You can donate right here.
