U.S. Air Force Airmen from the 69th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, deployed to RAF Fairford, England, from Feb. 11 to March 17, 2025, for Bomber Task Force 25-2. The deployment enhanced interoperability with NATO allies and partners through strategic deterrence flights and joint exercises across Europe. B-52H Stratofortresses integrated with allied air forces, demonstrating the U.S. commitment to regional security and collective defense. These missions reinforced readiness, adaptability, and the ability to project combat power whenever and wherever needed.(U.S. Air Force Video by Master Sgt. Chris Hibben)
