WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. – The B-2 Combined Operations Building, or COB, opened April 23, enhancing Total Force Integration between active duty and Air National Guard Airmen, and strengthening ties between the 509th and 131st Bomb Wings.
The 393rd and 110th Bomb Squadrons will now be working together in one building along with the 509th Operations Support Squadron, allowing these units to coordinate missions together, with unprecedented interoperability, as they take advantage of this advanced, 8,000 square foot facility.
“The COB is the one stop shop for everything our B-2 warrior’s need,” said Lt. Col. Luke Lucero, 509th Operations Group deputy commander. “Our pilots will now show up to one building, get everything they need, then step to the most lethal aircraft ever designed.”
