ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam -- A B-2 Spirit bomber, from the 509th
Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., takes off for a mission
during an air and space expeditionary force deployment here. The
B-2s deployed here Feb. 25 to provide U.S. Pacific Command officials a
continuous bomber presence in the Asia-Pacific region, enhancing
regional security and the U.S. commitment to the Western Pacific.

February 2004. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Val Gempis)
