June 12, 2022 - A U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer attached to the 34th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, receives fuel from a 506th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron KC-135 then pops flares over Pacific Ocean after taking off from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

Bomber missions contribute to joint force lethality and deter aggression in the Indo-Pacific by demonstrating United States Air Force ability to operate anywhere in the world at any time in support of the National Defense Strategy.
