The U.S. Air Force said long-range bombers used in a cross-combatant command mission with NATO allies have returned home to Ellsworth Air Force Base.
During the mission, the bombers and their crews operated as part of the Bomber Task Force deployment 24-2, where they "engaged in combined strategic opportunities with NATO Allies and partners, synchronizing capabilities and assuring security commitment in the area of operations," the Air Force said.
The aircraft departed from Sweden, crossed into the U.S. Northern Command area of responsibility and returned to Ellsworth AFB, where the B-1Bs are permanently stationed.
