In February, US Strategic Command announced the
deployment of three B-52 strategic bombers to Moron Air Base in Spain. The deployment is said to be in support of the European Reassurance Initiative, a measure aimed at deterring Russia and supporting the United States’ NATO allies.
In the past year, US B-2 and B-52 bombers have taken part in a number of missions, including participating in the annual NATO exercises, Baltic Operations and Saber Strike.
The Air Force Global Strike Command provides combat-ready forces to conduct strategic nuclear deterrence and global strike operations.
