28th Bomb Wing aircrew members discuss plans before stepping to their aircraft at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., Oct. 24, 2019. Several B-1s flew to the U.S. Central Command area of operations to support a Bomber Task Force. The unannounced arrival of the B-1B Lancer demonstrates the global strike capacity and ability of the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Global Strike Command to rapidly deploy forward and deliver precision-guided ordnance against any adversary. USSTRATCOM forces are on watch 24 hours a day, seven days a week to deter and detect strategic attack against the U.S. and our allies. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Jette Carr)
