Aviation Ordnancemen load MK 122/ BLU-117 aircraft bombs onto an F/A-18E Super Hornet attached to the “Kestrels” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 137, prior to an air power demonstration over the Gulf of America launched from Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), June 10, 2026. U.S. military forces are deployed to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility in support of Department of War-directed operations, and the president's priorities to disrupt illicit drug trafficking, deter malign actors and protect the homeland through continuous presence. Nimitz-class aircraft carriers are the pinnacle of mobile naval air power projection and forward operational presence. No other weapons system possesses the responsiveness, endurance, multi-dimensional might, inherent battlespace awareness, and command and control capabilities of a carrier strike group and its embarked air wing.
