Crew chiefs ready multiple B-52H Stratofortress' at Barksdale Air Base, La., May 13, 2014, for missions during a U.S. Strategic Command exercise. The Air Force Global Strike Command bombers routinely conduct training operations and exercises to ensure forces are ready to perform nuclear deterrence operations and long-range strike missions if and when called upon to do so. The U.S. Strategic Command exercise, Global Lightning 14, was designed to challenge and validate the responsiveness and flexibility of U.S. strategic military capabilities assigned to U.S. Strategic Command by the President of the United States.
