USAF’s Recent Long Range Long Endurance Training with B-1B Lancers had a Maritime Component
 
A 9th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron B-1B Lancer takes off from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, May 21, 2020. In continued demonstration of the U.S. Air Force’s dynamic force employment model, two U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancers flew from Andersen AFB and conducted training in Alaska and near Misawa Air Base, Japan. The 9th EBS, and other units assigned to the 7th Bomb Wing of Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, are deployed to Guam as part of a Bomber Task Force. BTFs contribute to joint force lethality, assure allies and partners, and deter aggression in the Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman River Bruce)

USAF’s Recent Long Range Long Endurance Training with B-1B Lancers had a Maritime Component

The recent "24 hours sprint" training mission of two U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancers had a maritime component to it. The long range bombers integrated with a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and maritime patrol aircraft. It also trained for anti-surface warfare missions with AGM-158C LRASM.
