DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas: The 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron here set a number of “firsts” recently for the B-1B Lancer.

Those ‘firsts’ were demonstrated July 25 over the White Sands Missile Range, N.M., when two Lancers from Dyess auto-released a Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile as well as three dissimilar weapons from the same launcher.

The 7th Bomb Wing became the first unit to achieve initial operational capability of the JASSM cruise missile Aug. 18, which means the missile is able to be used in combat operations.
