00:00:08,989 --> 00:00:11,156
Team Whiteman just wrapped up the most 

3
00:00:11,156 --> 00:00:13,267
recent iteration of exercise . Spirit 

4
00:00:13,267 --> 00:00:15,378
vigilance capping off the exercise by 

5
00:00:15,378 --> 00:00:17,267
rapidly launching 12 B two spirit 

6
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:19,267
stealth bombers , routine exercises 

7
00:00:19,267 --> 00:00:21,211
like this not only enhance mission 

8
00:00:21,211 --> 00:00:23,045
readiness but also contribute to 

9
00:00:23,045 --> 00:00:25,639
strategic deterrent . The B two is the 

10
00:00:25,649 --> 00:00:27,871
world's most strategic aircraft and the 

11
00:00:27,871 --> 00:00:29,982
only one that's currently operational 

12
00:00:29,982 --> 00:00:32,205
that combines stealth long range strike 

13
00:00:32,205 --> 00:00:34,371
and a versatile payload . And while we 

14
00:00:34,371 --> 00:00:36,316
normally prefer to stay stealthy , 

15
00:00:36,316 --> 00:00:38,371
occasionally , we need to remind our 

16
00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:40,371
adversaries of the overwhelming air 

17
00:00:40,371 --> 00:00:42,149
power , the B two can deliver . 

18
00:00:49,409 --> 00:00:51,298
Spirit vigilance was an important 

19
00:00:51,298 --> 00:00:53,520
opportunity to test the capabilities of 

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,631
the airmen behind the B two mission . 

21
00:00:55,631 --> 00:00:57,520
These exercises are vital for our 

22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,520
airmen to develop their skills . We 

23
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,742
practice our tactics and procedures and 

24
00:01:01,742 --> 00:01:03,909
just makes us a better war fighter and 

25
00:01:03,909 --> 00:01:06,076
it also provides a strategic messaging 

26
00:01:06,076 --> 00:01:08,242
to our partners that we're ready to go 

27
00:01:08,242 --> 00:01:08,220
anytime anywhere .
