Three B-52 ‎Stratofortresses‬ are scheduled to deploy June 2 from Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, to RAF Fairford, United Kingdom, to participate in U.S. European Command (EUCOM)’s Exercises Baltic Operations (‎BALTOPS‬) 16 and ‎SaberStrike‬ 16, and U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM)’s Just Hammer.

This deployment marks the third year in a row that strategic bombers have deployed to RAF Fairford and trained with U.S. and allied military forces.
