4/26/2010Â -Â DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) -Â The non-nuclear B-1 Lancer has adapted from a strategic mission to a close-air support role, and will continue to play an effective part in today’s fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to leaders here.

While the remaining bombers in the Air Force inventory transferred to Air Force Global Strike Command, the B-1 has become the go-to airframe when combatant commanders want a show of force or support for ground troops.

“The predominance of what we are doing right now in theater is close-air support; non-traditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and armed overwatch” said Col. Charlie Catoe, 7th Operations Group commander. “We are supporting the troops on the ground.” Â READ FULL ARTICLE >>>>>

ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam (AFNS) – More than 240 Airmen from Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., arrived here in late February to support the deployment of B-2 Spirits as part of the continuous bomber presence here. The B-2s join forces with F-22 Raptors deployed from the 90th Fighter Squadron, Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, as part of the theater security package. The tandem of premier airframes creates a formidable alliance supporting Andersen AFB’s mission within the Pacific region. This is the second pairing of these airframes for this mission.
