US Deployed Two B-1B & 200 Force to Norway for Counter Russian Threat
The Air Force is deploying bombers and airmen to a base in Norway for the first time, underscoring the growing importance of the Arctic region to U.S. defense strategy.
More than 200 Air Force personnel from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, were expected to arrive at Orland Air Base with an expeditionary B-1 Lancer bomber squadron to support missions in the region, U.S. European Command said in a statement Tuesday.
EUCOM did not say when the airmen and B-1s would arrive or how long they would remain at Orland, a base on the country’s west coast where the Royal Norwegian Air Force operates a fleet of F-35A Lightning II fighter aircraft.
