Air Mobility Command chief Gen. Duncan McNabb stopped by Yokota AB, Japan, during a nine-day tour of AMC operations across the Pacific, to say “thank you for the great work” of the 730th Air Mobility Squadron at Yokota. McNabb said: “When you think about the Pacific Rim and about its importance to our country … if we have to undertake combat operations, our ability to come through Yokota becomes absolutely essential.”
The Air Force’s B-52 bomber may soon be able to carry up to 20 stealthy long-range anti-ship missiles to strike moving targets at sea, a key capability in a potential fight with China.
