B-1B Lancers conduct first Bomber Task Force mission from Norway
Diana Stancy Correll
 

Two Air Force B-1B Lancers conducted a Bomber Task Force mission over Norway Friday, the first such mission this year and the first time Lancers have flown out of the Northern European country.

The exercise highlights the increasing importance of the Arctic in the national defense strategy.

The B-1Bs from 7th Bomb Wing out of Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, comprising the 9th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, completed tactical integration exercises with Norwegian F-35s and naval assets Feb. 26, the Air Force said. The mission took place near the Norwegian Sea.
