The afterburners of a B-1B Lancer glow as the bomber takes off from Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., Oct. 24, 2019. The deployment of this aircraft allows militaries from the United States and regional partner nations to train and work together to strengthen military-to-military relationships, promote regional security, improve combined tactical air operations and enhance interoperability of forces. The U.S. routinely and visibly demonstrates to our allies and partners through the global employment of our military forces. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Hailey Staker)
