The next rotation of bombers to boost Pacific region security and stability has arrived at Andersen AFB, Guam. A force of six B-52s with aircrews, maintainers, and support staff from the 5th Bomb Wing at Minot AFB, N.D., will make their home at Andersen for the next four months. They are replacing the just departed B-2s from Whiteman AFB, Mo. The Air Force is maintaining regular rotations to Andersen of fighters and bombers.
Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach said the service must improve its readiness in his first public remarks as Air Force Chief of Staff, made during a ceremony marking his ascension to the service’s top job Nov. 18.
