From May 19-22, the 2nd Bomb Wing honored Police Week with a four-day observance, commemorating the defenders in berets who stand watch day and night, from flightlines to front gates. Police Week is dedicated to honoring the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who serve as the shield of the mission.
As part of the Air Force’s premier weapons system evaluation program, the 2nd Bomb Wing participated in Combat Hammer from March 10 to 21, testing its ability to deliver conventional airpower in a contested environment.
The MindGym arrived at Barksdale to help train the minds of Airmen who are ready to strengthen their cognitive health. It utilizes the combined power of isolation, reflection, light, and sound to create an immersive environment designed to help you improve focus, manage stress, and build resilience.
