The 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB, La., is sending B-52s from its 20th Bomb Squadron to replace BUFFs from its 96th BS that have been deployed to Andersen AFB, Guam, reports The Shreveport Times. The 96th force of B-52s arrived at Guam for their latest strategic presence rotation in January, flying some very long missions during their stay. They also had to hop out of harm’s way when a typhoon threatened to strike Andersen.
As the Space Force prepares to field new fleets of satellites that can track moving targets in the air and on the ground, it’s working to ensure it has the organizational structures in place to onboard and operate those systems.
