In “Back to Guam” from the Feb. 7 Daily Report column, we incorrectly reported that B-2 bombers would return to Guam for extended deployments, with aircraft remaining at Andersen Air Force Base while B-2 crews rotated in and out. Instead, Air Force Global Strike Command tells us that both the B-2 crews and the aircraft will rotate in and out of Andersen on deployments lasting up to two weeks. We’ve revised the original entry.
The U.S. military is maintaining a beefed-up presence in the Middle East, including fighters and air defense assets, following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities June 22 and subsequent retaliation by the Iranians against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
