US deploying B-52 bombers to Guam

The United States is deploying a half dozen B-52 bombers to Guam this month as part of a 90-day rotation to back up US forces in the region, air force officials said Wednesday.
"We're deploying approximately 300 member and six B-52s in the next two to four weeks from Minot to Anderson in Guam," said Senior Airman Steve Grever, a spokesman at the North Dakota air base. "It's all part of a 90-day air expeditionary force rotation," he said.
The US military use the air power deployments to Guam as a deterrent against North Korea while US forces are tied down in Iraq.
