The U.S. military conducted a bomber task force mission in the Middle East on March 4—the third such one in two weeks, stated U.S. Central Command on Thursday.
CENTCOM, which holds purview over the region, stated that the operation served to strengthen “partner interoperability” and demonstrate “force projection capabilities in the region.”
The mission consisted of a B-52H Stratofortress from the Royal Air Force Fairford base in Gloucestershire, in the United Kingdom, flying across Europe and into CENTCOM’s area of responsibility. The flight included aerial refueling and training opportunities with partner nations, per CENTCOM.
The U.S. military’s short statement, which included video footage of a mid-air refueling, didn’t mention the Jewish state.
