Bomber task force are the United States
Air Force way to send strategic assets
like our bombers . Specifically . In
this case , the B one to locations
around the planet to demonstrate that
we have access and demonstrate that we
have the capability with reach . To put
those assets in places . It allows us
to send that strategic messaging to our
allies for the assurance message and
then deterrence to our would be
adversaries that global reaching power
and it gives us great opportunities to
build relationships and integrate with
our partners and allies .
Our mission here proves our dedication
to NATO and the importance to assure
deter and defend against our
adversaries working with the Swedish
forces has been an amazing experience .
They share a lot of our same morals to
protect our country and to defend
against those that wish to do us harm .
All of them have been coming out .
We've been giving them tours every day ,
every time they see the jet . They're
always amazed at how big it is , how
fast it is , how , how large our
payload is . So it's cool to see them
personally . Super exciting opportunity .
First time flying across the Atlantic ,
I just finished my aircraft commander
upgrade . Obviously , that was a really
cool experience of leading my own jet
across the Atlantic and then working
with the Swedish guys , they've been
awesome from the mission planning to
the execution . Everything was really
smooth . They've been gracious hosts .
We're working with the Swedish Air
Force here during such an important
time in the world , you know , showing
what the B one can do and as far as you
know , integrating with foreign
partners , showing that we can do that
and we can do it well . So I've been
flying the B one for 12 years , I've
done a lot of partner in the allied
integration and Swedes are top notch .
The squadron we integrated with the 211
was phenomenal . They are very capable ,
easy to integrate with , they know
exactly what they're doing . They've
been nothing but professionals and this
has been one of if not the best foreign
integration exercises I've done .
