B-52s roar over Guam during bomber surge
Members of the 20th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron flew surge missions and launched six of its B-52 Stratofortresses on a large scale training flights Sept. 4 and 5 from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.
The training mission allowed crewmembers to practice more than the standard two-ship deconfliction plan while maintaining situational awareness of the battlefield, other players and weapons, said Andersen Air Force Base officials.
"This is the first time six B-52s have taken off from Andersen for this type of mission since Operation Linebacker II," said Brig. Gen. Philip M. Ruhlman, the 36th Wing commander.
