Whiteman B-2 unit preps to return from Guam

Four B-2 Spirit bombers and about 280 airmen are preparing to return to Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., after a four-month deployment to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.
The aircraft and personnel from the 509th Bomb Wing will return sometime in the next two weeks, a Whiteman spokesman said. The spokesman would not provide a specific date, citing security concerns.
The B-2s, deployed as the 393rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, are part of the continuous bomber presence the Air Force has maintained on Guam since March 2004.
Under the policy, B-1, B-2 and B-52 bombers take turns deploying for four-month stints on the Pacific island.
“The bomber rotation fulfills U.S. security obligations and demonstrates U.S. commitment to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region,” Pacific Air Forces spokeswoman Lt. Col. Antoinette Kemper said. “It also serves as a deterrent for potential adversaries while reassuring regional partners the United States remains engaged in this theater.”
The Air Force has strengthened its presence in the Pacific in recent years, sending F-22s, C-17s and Global Hawk surveillance drones into the region. Some analysts contend this is intended to project strength and act as a deterrent to China.
Guam, in particular, is in the early stages of a substantial military build-up. The Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps plan to beef up their presence on the strategically located island in coming years.
