The 69th Bomb Squadron recently returned from a six month deployment in support of the pacific command mission. For over 10 years the B-52 has exclusively supported the continuous bomber presence in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
Col Matthew Brooks: "This deployment once again demonstrated the 5th Bomb wing's ability to project power throughout the United States Pacific Command area of responsibility to deter our enemies, assure our allies, and execute global strike on demand."
While deployed the 69th Bomb Squadron completed numerous missions including the first ever demonstration of B-1, B-2, and B-52 bombers together.
Col Matthew Brooks: "The B-52 continues to be the work horse of our nations bomber force. I'm tremendously proud of the missions we're executing today and excited for what the future holds for this amazing aircraft and the airmen who operate, maintain, and support it."
This is the last return of the B-52 from Anderson Air Force Base for a while. The B-52 is now supporting the Central Command mission and the B-1 is taking over in the pacific. From Minot Air Force base I'm A1C Izabella Sullivan.
