It later became one of the most recognizable symbols of U.S. military operations in Vietnam and played major roles in combat missions in the Balkans and the Middle East. More recently, B-52s have been used in aerial “show of force” missions over the disputed South China Sea, in the fight against the Islamic State group and in eastern Syria.
