Air Force B-1B bombers just rolled up in Guam in a message to US adversaries
Americas premier long-range heavy bombers are back in Guam, and they mean business.
Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers from the 28th Bomb Wing at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota arrived at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam on Thursday as part of a mission with the core goal of deterring potential adversaries and challenging their decision calculus, the service announced in a press release.
The arrival of the undisclosed number of Lancers marks the second rotation to Guam this year following a Bomber Task Force (BTF) mission in June that saw four aircraft integrate with Japan Air Self-Defense Force and Royal Australian Air Force for multilateral training operations.
The new rotation will see the Lancers join with more Allies for several additional Indo-Pacific training missions to provide key assurances and cooperation with joint and partner Allies in the region, as 37th Bomb Squadron operations director Lt. Col. Daniel Mount put it in a statement.

(8,522 posts)There wasn't even a Afghanistan war to win and as for Vietnam US public support for the war waned, the South Vietnamese government was very corrupt and didn't have a government that would last. The Korean war is also one you could mention. Even with the best military though you are not going to win everything and as a smart man named Beau likes to say, our military is great at winning wars, but not at winning the peace.
