U.S. Air Force B-52H bombers conduct short-notice mission into Middle East

The U.S. Air Force announced that four B-52H Stratofortresses bombers assigned to the 5th Bomb Wing, Minot Air Force Base, N.D., conducted a short-notice, long-range mission into the Middle East on Nov. 21 to deter aggression and reassure U.S. partners and allies.

In a release, U.S. Central Command Public Affairs reported the non-stop mission demonstrates the U.S. military’s ability to deploy combat airpower anywhere in the world on short notice and integrate into United States Central Command (CENTCOM) operations to help preserve regional stability and security.

“Bomber Task Force missions highlight the robust and varied USAF capabilities that can be made rapidly available in the CENTCOM AOR,” said Lt. Gen. Greg Guillot, 9th Air Force (Air Forces Central) commander. “The ability to quickly move forces into, out of and around the theater to seize, retain and exploit the initiative is key to deterring potential aggression. These missions help bomber aircrews gain familiarity with the region’s airspace and command and control functions and allow them to integrate with the theater’s U.S. and partner air assets, increasing the combined force’s overall readiness.”

During the mission, the bomber aircrews integrated with air operations centers and other AFCENT assets such as F-15E “Strike Eagles,” F-16 “Fighting Falcons,” KC-10 “Extenders” and KC-135 “Stratotankers.”

CENTCOM is committed to preserving and protecting the freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce throughout the region. The United States does not seek conflict, but continues to be postured and committed to respond to any contingency around the world.

The last U.S. long-range bomber presence in the Middle East was in early 2020.

US Navy sub hunters to be based in Bermuda 25 years after the NAS shut down

From the Royal Gazette:

Bermuda is back on the front line of the United States Navy’s efforts to combat Russian submarines prowling the depths of the Atlantic, The Royal Gazette can reveal.

A USN detachment and two hi-tech P-8 Poseidon submarine hunter aircraft has been deployed to the island and will conduct reconnaissance operations from the airport – a former US Naval Air Station that closed down 25 years ago.

Lieutenant Marycate Walsh, of the US 2nd Fleet, confirmed: “A P-8 Poseidon detachment arrived in Bermuda on October 30 to support operational requirements in conjunction with other US naval assets in the Atlantic Ocean.

“The detachment is scheduled to operate out of Bermuda for the next several months.”

She added: “The Navy frequently conducts exercises and operations in the Atlantic Ocean to maintain readiness, refine tactics, and support homeland defence.”

The P-8 is a military version of the Boeing 737 passenger plane armed with torpedoes, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and other weapons and can drop and monitor sonobuoys designed to detect submarines.

It was introduced as a replacement for the ageing Lockheed P-3 Orion fleet as the service’s main anti-submarine warfare aircraft in 2013.

Lieutenant Walsh said: "The P-8 Poseidon aircraft is a versatile, multi-mission maritime aircraft and is one of many US Navy platforms operating in the Atlantic Ocean, at any given time."

The USN 2nd Fleet, based in Norfolk, Virginia, was re-established in 2018 to counter increased Russian activity in the North Atlantic.

The fleet, which operated at the height of the Cold War with the former Soviet Union, was abolished in 2011 because it was thought the threat from Russia had diminished.

The 2nd Fleet is responsible for ships, aircraft and landing forces on the East Coast of the United States and the North Atlantic, up to the Arctic.

Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis, the 2nd Fleet commander, warned earlier this year that the East Coast of the US was no longer “uncontested” or a “safe haven” for Nato ships and submarines.

He told a forum organised by the US Naval Institute and the Centre for Strategic and International Studies: “We have seen an ever-increasing number of Russian submarines deployed in the Atlantic and these submarines are more capable than ever, deploying for longer periods of time, with more lethal weapons systems.

“Our sailors have the mindset that they are no longer uncontested and to expect to operate alongside our competitors each and every underway.”

The US Naval Air Station, now a civilian airport, operated several squadrons of P-3 aircraft at its height and was run down after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, decommissioned in 1995 and later handed back to the Government.

It began service in 1940 as part of the bases for destroyers deal which helped Britain to survive in the Second World War and was operated first as a US Air Force base and then as a Naval Air Station from 1970 until its closure in 1995.

Lee Rizzuto, the US Consul General, said last night: “The US Consulate thanks the Government of Bermuda for their support and cooperation of the US Navy as they conduct a series of exercises over the next several weeks.

“The opportunity to operate out of Bermuda will improve multi-domain cooperation while furthering the special bilateral relationship between the United States and Bermuda."
