00:00On arrival into the target area, the helicopters came under fire, and they replied with that fire with overwhelming force and self-defense.

00:08One of our aircraft was hit but remained flyable, and as the President said earlier today, all of our aircraft came home,

00:15and that aircraft remained flyable during the rest of the mission.

00:18Mr. President, and good morning.

00:21Last night, on the order of the President of the United States, and in support of a request from the Department of Justice,

00:27as the President said, the United States military conducted an apprehension mission in Caracas, Venezuela,

00:33to bring to justice two indicted persons, Nicolas and Cecilia Maduro.

00:38This operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, was discreet, precise, and conducted during the darkest hours of January 2nd,

00:48and was in the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal, an operation that, frankly, only the United States military could undertake.

00:56What I'd like to do this morning is talk to you through some of the preparation and the details

01:01without compromising any of our tactics, techniques, and procedures.

01:07There is always a chance that we'll be tasked to do this type of mission again.

01:12Our interagency work began months ago and built on decades of experience of integrating complex air, ground, space, and maritime operations.

01:22While the past two decades have honed the skills of our Special Operations Forces,

01:28this particular mission required every component of our joint force,

01:33with soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and guardians working in unison

01:38with our intelligence agency partners and law enforcement teammates in an unprecedented operation.

01:44We leveraged our unmatched intelligence capabilities and our years of experience in hunting terrorists,

01:52and we could not have done this mission without the incredible work by various intelligence agencies,

01:58including the CIA, NSA, and NGA.

02:02We watched.

02:03We waited.

02:04We prepared.

02:06We remained patient and professional.

02:09This mission was meticulously planned, drawing lessons from decades of missions over the last many years,

02:17decades of many missions over these last many years.

02:20This was an audacious operation that only the United States could do.

02:26It required the utmost of precision and integration within our joint force.

02:31And the word integration does not explain the sheer complexity of such a mission.

02:38An extraction so precise, it involved more than 150 aircraft launching across the Western Hemisphere,

02:47in close coordination, all coming together in time and place to layer effects for a single purpose,

02:56to get an interdiction force into downtown Caracas while maintaining the element of tactical surprise.

03:05Failure of one component of this well-oiled machine would have endangered the entire mission,

03:11and failure is never an option for America's joint force.

03:16Those in the air over Caracas last night were willing to give their lives for those on the ground and in the helicopters.

03:24Let me talk a little bit about the preparation.

03:28After months of work by our intelligence teammates to find Maduro and understand how he moved,

03:35where he lived, where he traveled, what he ate, what he wore, what were his pets,

03:41in early December, our force was set pending a series of aligned events.

03:48Key was choosing the right day to minimize the potential for civilian harm,

03:54and maximize the element of surprise, and minimize the harm to the indicted personnel,

04:00so as the President said, they could be brought to justice.

04:04And as the President said earlier today, weather in Venezuela is always a factor this time of the year.

04:11And over the weeks through Christmas and New Year's, the men and women of the United States military sat ready,

04:19patiently waiting for the right triggers to be met and the President to order us into action.

04:24Last night, the weather broke just enough, clearing a path that only the most skilled aviators in the world could maneuver through.

04:34Ocean, mountain, low clouds, ceilings.

04:38But when tasked with a mission, this organization does not quit.

04:43At 10.46 p.m. Eastern time last night, the President ordered the United States military to move forward with this mission.

04:53He said to us, and we appreciated it, Mr. President, good luck and Godspeed.

04:57And those words were transmitted to the entire Joint Force.

05:01Over the course of the night, aircraft began launching from 20 different bases on land and sea across the Western Hemisphere.

05:09In total, more than 150 aircraft, bombers, fighters, intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance, rotary wing were in the air last night.

05:19Thousands and thousands of hours of experience were airborne.

05:24Our youngest crew member was 20, and our oldest crew member was 49.

05:28And there's simply no match for American military might.

05:31As the night began, the helicopters took off with the extraction force, which included law enforcement officers,

05:38and began their flight into Venezuela at 100 feet above the water.

05:43As they approached Venezuelan shores, the United States began layering different effects provided by Spacecom, Cybercom,

05:51and other members of the interagency to create a pathway.

05:55Overhead, those forces were protected from aircraft, were protected by aircraft from the United States Marines.

06:01The United States Navy, the United States Air Force, and the Air National Guard.

06:06The force included F-22s, F-35s, F-18s, EA-18s, E-2s, B-1 bombers, and other support aircraft,

06:16as well as numerous remotely piloted drones.

06:20As the force began to approach Caracas, the Joint Air Component began dismantling and disabling the air defense systems in Venezuela,

06:30employing weapons to ensure the safe passage of the helicopters into the target area.

06:37The goal of our air component is, was, and always will be to protect the helicopters and the ground force

06:46and get them to the target and get them home.

06:49As the force crossed the last point of high terrain, where they'd been hiding in the clutter,

06:55we assessed that we had maintained totally the element of surprise.

07:01As the helicopter force ingressed towards the objective at low level,

07:05we arrived at Maduro's compound at 1.01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time or 2.01 a.m. Caracas Local Time,

07:15and the apprehension force descended into Maduro's compound and moved with speed, precision, and discipline towards their objective

07:24and isolated the area to ensure the safety and security of the ground force while apprehending the indicted persons.

07:32On arrival into the target area, the helicopters came under fire,

07:37and they replied with that fire with overwhelming force and self-defense.

07:41One of our aircraft was hit but remained flyable, and as the President said earlier today,

07:46all of our aircraft came home, and that aircraft remained flyable during the rest of the mission.

07:50As the operation unfolded at the compound, our air and ground intelligence teams provided real-time updates to the ground force,

08:00ensuring those forces could safely navigate the complex environment without unnecessary risk.

08:06The force remained protected by overhead tactical aviation.

08:11Maduro and his wife, both indicted, gave up and were taken into custody by the Department of Justice,

08:17assisted by our incredible U.S. military with professionalism and precision, with no loss of U.S. life.

08:26After securing the indicted persons, the force began to prep for departure.

08:32Helicopters were called in to exfiltrate the extraction force,

08:36while fighter aircraft and remotely piloted aircraft provided overhead coverage and suppressive fire.

08:42There were multiple self-defense engagements as the force began to withdraw out of Venezuela.

08:50The force successfully exfiltrated and returned to their afloat launch bases,

08:56and the force was over the water at 3.29 a.m. Eastern Standard Time with indicted persons on board,

09:04and both Maduro and his wife were embarked aboard the USS Uajima.

09:09In closing, what we've witnessed today is a powerful demonstration of America's joint force.

09:17We think, we develop, we train, we rehearse, we debrief, we rehearse again and again,

09:27not to get it right, but to ensure that we cannot get it wrong.

09:32Our jobs are to integrate combat power so when the order comes,

09:38we can deliver overwhelming force at the time and the place of our choosing against any foe anywhere in the world.

09:48I am immensely proud today of our joint force and filled with gratitude to represent them here today.

09:56There is simply no mission too difficult for these incredible professionals and the families that stand by them and support them.

10:05As we stand here this morning, our forces remain in the region at a high state of readiness,

10:12prepared to project power, defend themselves, and our interests in the region.

10:18This operation is a testament to the dedication and unwavering commitment to justice

10:25and our resolve to hold accountable those who threaten peace and stability.

10:31In closing, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the brave men and women who executed this mission.

10:39Their courage and tireless commitment to our nation are what makes us strong.
