A B-52H Stratofortress takes off at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., April 1, 2015 during a U.S. Strategic Command-directed training mission, called "Polar Growl." The round-trip sortie from their U.S. home to the Arctic region allowed the aircrews to hone their navigation skills and enhanced their ability to work with Allied partners. USSTRATCOM is one of nine DoD unified combatant commands and is charged with strategic deterrence; space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; global strike; missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; combating weapons of mass destruction; and analysis and targeting.
