Aircrew assigned to the 37th Bomb Squadron unload equipment from a B-1B Lancer at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., upon completion of a CONUS-to-CONUS (C2C) mission to the Indo-Pacific region, Sept. 10, 2022. A C2C mission contributes to joint force lethality and deters aggression in the Indo-Pacific by demonstrating the United States Air Force's ability to operate anywhere in the world at any time in support of the National Defense Strategy.
