U.S. Air Force B-52s deploy to EuropePublished March 15, 2019
                    
                    By 501st Combat Support Wing Public Affairs
            **RAF ALCONBURY, U.K. (AFNS) --**A Bomber Task Force deployment of B-52 Stratofortress aircraft, Airmen and support equipment from the 2nd Bomb Wing, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, have arrived in the U.S. European Command area of operations for a deployment to conduct theater integration and flying training, March 14.
The aircraft will operate out of RAF Fairford, United Kingdom. The deployment of strategic bombers to the U.K. helps exercise RAF Fairford as United States Air Forces in Europe’s forward operating location for bombers.
The deployment also includes joint and allied training in the U.S. European Command theater to improve bomber interoperability. Training with joint partners, allied nations and other U.S. Air Force units contributes to our ready and postured forces and enables us to build enduring and strategic relationships necessary to confront a broad range of global challenges.B-52
