The B-1 is a long-range, multi-mission and supersonic conventional bomber, according to the Air Force. It has served the Air Force since the 1980s and the United States eliminated the nuclear mission for the B-1 in 1994.

"The B-1 has been nearly continuously deployed in combat operations over Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001," according to Boeing Defense, Space and Security — a division of the Boeing Company.
