Special ops vets form \u2018Redneck Air Force\u2019 to ferry aid into NC mountains after feds come up short: \u2018Who\u2019s FEMA?\u2019<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

SWANNANOA, North Carolina \u2014 Hundreds of special operations personnel in North Carolina have formed their own homegrown rescue and supply operation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene after they grew tired of waiting for the federal government to get its act together.<\/h2>\n

The Post found an all-volunteer operation being run out of a Harley-Davidson dealership with ruthless efficiency and military precision.<\/h2>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s FEMA?\u201d ex-Green Beret Adam Smith derisively responded when asked about the agency\u2019s presence on the ground since the\u00a0deadly storm ravaged the rural western part of the state<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

\u201cThis disaster has definitively proven without a shadow of a doubt\u00a0FEMA\u2019s incompetence and incapability<\/a>,\u201d he said, noting that the agency didn\u2019t even show up until Thursday \u2014 almost a week after the storm that has killed at least 232, nearly half of them in the mountainous west of the Tar Heel State.<\/h2>\n

Unwilling to stand idly by after feeling his community was languishing with\u00a0inadequate support from the government<\/a>, Smith enlisted the help of a few good men and women to take matters into their own hands.<\/h2>\n
