Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., is home to the 509th and 131st Bomb Wings, the only two wings in the U.S. Air Force that fly the B-2. The B-2 plays a major role in the strategic deterrence mission, providing flexible global strike options to the president and DOD leaders. In its strategic role as the world's most technologically advanced bomber, it is a symbol of the United States' readiness and determination to support our allies and partners around the world, while deterring aggression on the part of America's adversaries.
