"Operation USA was the first Western aid group into Phnom Penh, Cambodia, after the overthrow of Pol Pot.

"In 1984 famine-stricken Ethiopia, it innovated the use of 747 cargo jets, doubling the aid delivered in a single shipment.

"Operation USA was awarded the President‘s Volunteer Action Award in 1983 for work as the first U.S. NGO licensed to provide relief to Cambodia and Vietnam after the Vietnam War (1979)."[1]
