A Bomber Task Force (BTF) deployment of multiple U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress aircraft, Airmen, and support equipment from the 23rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, arrived at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam on 8 July 2025. The deployment supports Pacific Air Forces’ ongoing training with Allies, partners, and joint forces across the Indo-Pacific region.

 

The BTF missions are designed to enhance strategic deterrence and uphold the rules-based international order in the region. By operating from a diverse set of overseas and continental U.S. locations, the missions also improve operational resilience for strategic bomber operations.
