Tech. Sgt Jamie Mikus, 23rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron weapons loader deployed from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., prepares an Inert GBU-31 to be loaded onto a B-52 Stratofortress Nov. 26, at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam during the Aces North exercise. Aces North is a two week mission employment phase of the Australians version of the U.S. Air Force Weapons School. The exercise is scheduled to end Dec. 4. The bomber's participation in constant training helps emphasize the U.S. bomber presence, demonstrating U.S. commitment to the Pacific region.
