High Alert: US Deploys Nuclear-Capable B-2 Stealth Bombers Closer To N. Korea
Three B-2 Spirit strategic stealth bombers along with approximately 200 Airmen belonging to the 50 9th Bomb Wing, Whiteman Air Force Base, were deployed to Andersen Air Force Base, in support of U.S. Pacific Command’s (PACOM) Bomber Assurance and Deterrence mission.
The stealth bombers, are due to be involved in what the U.S. Pacific Command defined a “short-term deployment” during which they will conduct “local and regional training sorties, and will integrate capabilities with key regional partners, ensuring bomber crews maintain a high state of readiness and crew proficiency.”
