A B-52H Stratofortress is prepared for a weapons load at Royal Air Force Fairford, United Kingdom, June 7, 2017. The B-52 long-range conventional and nuclear bomber is capable of dropping or launching the widest array of weapons in the U.S. inventory, including gravity bombs, cluster bombs, precision-guided missiles and joint direct attack munitions. Three B-52s from Barksdale Air Force Base, La., deployed to RAF Fairford to support exercises Arctic Challenge, BALTOPS 17 and Saber Strike 17. U.S. Strategic Command routinely conducts bomber operations across the globe as a demonstration of U.S. commitment to collective defense and to integrate with Geographic Combatant Command operations and activities.
