General James Hecker, commander of US Air Forces in Europe and US Air Forces Africa and Nato Allied Command, said: “Each Bomber Task Force mission underscores the prowess of our armed forces in navigating today’s intricate and unpredictable global security terrain, with a focus on fostering stability, security and freedom across Europe.
“In resolute unity, the US upholds our nation’s commitment to foster peace and stability in Europe, unwaveringly collaborating with allies and partners to thwart challenges against the sovereignty of nations across the region.”
The presence of the B-2 at Keflavik airbase serves as a tangible link between US Air Force personnel and their counterparts in the theatre of operations.
This connection helps collaborative training, ultimately increasing interoperability and underscoring the unwavering dedication of the US to the region.
Elaborating on the importance of joint training exercises with allies, Lt Col Kousgaard highlighted his unit’s role in enhancing collective military capabilities and increasing the probability of successfully accomplishing shared objectives, saying: “There is simply no substitute for the hands-on integration with our allies and partners that we’re able to accomplish during a BTF deployment like this one.”
Beyond bolstering combat readiness, the BTF initiative enables aviators to engage in a wide spectrum of military operations, encompassing everything from combat missions to humanitarian aid and disaster relief efforts.
Regular and routine deployments of US strategic bombers provide critical touchpoints to train and operate alongside allies and partners while bolstering the US’ collective response to any global conflict.
