Harry B. Harris Jr., the PACOM commander. "North Korea's nuclear test is a blatant violation of its international obligations. U.S. joint military forces in the Indo-Asia-Pacific will continue to work with all of our regional allies and partners to maintain stability and security."The bilateral flight mission demonstrates the strength of the alliance between the U.S. and South Korea and the resolve of both nations to maintain stability and security on the Korean Peninsula, the release said.Headquartered in Hawaii, PACOM is responsible for all U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps forces over half the Earth's surface, stretching from the waters off the west coast of North America to the western border of India, and from Antarctica to the North Pole.The B-52 is a long-range strategic bomber and part of the command's continuous bomber presence in the Indo-Asia-Pacific.
