ROK/US aircraft conduct extended deterrence mission
United Nations Command, U.S. Forces Korea deputy commander and U.S. 7th Air Force commander, Lt. Gen. Terrence O'Shaughnessy and Col. Andrew Hansen, 51st Fighter Wing commander, watch a low-level pass from a U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress, Andersen Air Base, Guam, in response to recent provocative action by North Korea over Osan, South Korea, on Jan. 10, 2015. The B-52 was joined by a Republic of Korea Air Force F-15 Slam Eagle and a U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon. In a conventional conflict, the B-52 can perform strategic attack, close-air support, air interdiction, offensive counter-air and maritime operations. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Kristin High)
