Aircraft and crews arrived Tuesday from the 28th Bomb Wing at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota, the Air Force said in a Thursday news release. It did not disclose how many jets are part of the rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tasking comes as North Korea has fired the most missiles in one year since its leader Kim Jong Un took power in 2011 \u2014 including a ballistic missile over Japan on Oct. 3 \u2014 and amid ongoing worries that China may invade Taiwan. China has also pledged solidarity with Russian President Vladimir Putin in his eight-month war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/your-air-force\/2022\/05\/12\/dyess-fire-chief-offers-new-details-on-last-months-massive-b-1b-bomber-fire\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/b1b.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Dyess fire chief offers new details on last month\u2019s massive B-1B bomber fire<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Flames on the bomber&#039;s left side reached as high as 75 feet when fire crews arrived.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bomber crews will participate in several training missions with regional allies while overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur maintenance professionals will be responsible for preparing, maintaining and launching B-1s for long-duration missions,\u201d Lt.
