No B-52s involved but, wouldn't be at all surprised if participating B-1s operated from Fairford.

Might use Moron - Global Strike Command's other Forward Bomber Base in Europe.
Re: Trident Juncture 18
Understand B1's minelaying - possibly fly missions direct from CONUS especially if no. of missions foreseen is small . Its a big Ex overall though , and previous 'rules' may not apply . In other words anythings possible & I've no idea whats likely !

Re: Trident Juncture 18
Agree, B-1's have already demonstrated their Global reach by flying from the CONUS to Europe and back so its another possibility.
Re: Trident Juncture 18
Johnwayne,
I think you are maybe getting confused with BaltOps.
The only maritime involvement in Trident juncture are amphibious landing by the US Marines on October 31st and by French, Dutch, Finish and UK troops on November 3rd.

Re: Trident Juncture 18
Noted - I 'get' the Trident Juncture scenario & no confusion with BaltOps . 'Minelaying' was quoted in an earlier NATO TJ briefing but non-specific . I looked at air assets participating & capabilities & put 2 + 2 together but I acknowledge that can sometimes that make 5 ! I think the jury's still out on B1 participation / nature of ops / basing etc .
Re: Trident Juncture 18
Having attended the last two, I would be interested in seeing a link to the "Minelaying" NATO TJ" brief for future TJ exercises - if you get chance.

Re: Trident Juncture 18
Wasn’t there a similar exercise this time last year that we all got excited about, but in the end Fairford wasn’t used?

Re: Trident Juncture 18
There are no aircraft due, but it is possible Fairford may be on standby for any in-flight problems if aircraft are flying long missions direct from the U.S.

They're operating from CONUS, nothing happening at Fairford.
