Rasmussen spent 25 years on active duty with the US Navy pioneering the specialty of humanitarian medicine inside the military, and has worked for more than three decades to improve healthcare within highly vulnerable populations in war zones and in the aftermath of natural disasters. Between 1995 and 2014, he worked with several teams to develop protocols, tools and techniques now used in humanitarian operations. Many of these were initiated during a series of international disaster response demonstrations called Strong Angel held in 2000, 2004, and 2006. The next Strong Angel is scheduled for December, 2016. On retiring from the Navy in 2007 he was selected by the Executive Director of Google.org to become the founding CEO of the 2006 TED Prize called (InSTEDD ), now a successful NGO. He remains Chairman of the Board of Directors at InSTEDD.
