RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany – Allied Joint Terminal Attack Controllers from Denmark and Partner JTACs from Sweden worked out air-land integration training with B-52 Stratofortress aircraft over the North Sea.

Aircraft and personnel from the U.K., Denmark, and Sweden integrated with B-52 bombers to refine interoperability procedures over the North Sea. The use of the bomber aircraft signals the U.S.' commitment to international treaties and allies concerns while maintaining real world capabilities.
