Airmen from the 379th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron perform scheduled maintenance on an B-1B Lancer engine in Southwest Asia. The engine is being replaced as part of regularly scheduled maintenance, which ensures maximum engine performance for B-1 mission success.

It can rapidly deliver massive quantities of precision and non-precision weapons against any adversary, anywhere in the world, at any time.
