A B-1B Lancer, assigned to the 9th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron and deployed from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, takes off March 10, 2017, at Andersen AFB, Guam. The B-1B's are deployed to Andersen AFB as part of U.S. Pacific Command's continuous bomber presence operations. This forward deployed presence demonstrates continuing U.S. commitment to stability and security in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. Most importantly, the bomber rotations provide Pacific Air Forces and PACOM commanders an extended deterrence capability. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Jacob Skovo)
