Spirit Vigilance is one of a series of routine exercises held by Air Force Global Strike bases across the Air Force that focus on the training and readiness of Airmen. These exercises are regularly planned and are conducted to continuously evaluate and enhance U.S. deterrence capabilities.
To cap off the exercise, 12 B-2 Spirit stealth bombers assigned to the 509th Bomb Wing conducted a fly-off at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., April 15, 2024. Routine training exercises like Spirit Vigilance ensure that Airmen are always ready to execute global strike operations… anytime, anywhere. (U.S. Air Force video by Senior Airman Bryson Britt) More
