28th Bomb Wing maintainers at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., ready a fleet of B-1B Lancers for flight in support of a Bomber Task Force mission in the U.S. Central Command area of operations, Oct. 24, 2019. This deployment of this aircraft allows the United States and regional partner nations’ militaries to train and work together to strengthen military-to-military relationships, promote regional security, improve combined tactical air operations and enhance interoperability of forces. Operations and engagements with our allies and partners demonstrates and strengthens our shared commitment to global security and stability. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class John C. B. Ennis)
