Celebrating the 26th anniversary of Secret Squirrel

Gen. Robin Rand, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, speaks with retired Lt. Col. Richard Cole, the last living Doolittle Raider at the 26th anniversary of Operation Secret Squirrel at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Jan. 17, 2017. Operation Senior Surprise was a secret mission that helped kick off Operation Desert Storm. Senior Surprise was the official name of the mission, but aircrew and maintainers creatively came up with the name Secret Squirrel so they could track schedules and discuss the mission in unclassified areas.
