B-1B bombers perform joint training with Singapore and Japan in the Indo-Pacific
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 01/22/2024 - 9:00 p.m. in Military
Two U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancers bombers were moved to the Indo-Pacific region where they carried out joint exercises with the Air Force of the Republic of Singapore (RSAF) and the Air Self-Defense Force of Japan (JASDF).
The two B-1B Lancers assigned to the 345º Expeditionary Bomber Squadron of Dyesss Air Base, Texas, arrived at Paya Lebar Air Base, Singapore, on January 18, as part of regular training of the United States Air Force and commitments to key partners in the region.

Integration with RSAF provides valuable professional exchanges and training opportunities with different aircraft and crews.
In a statement, PACAF emphasized the importance of integration with RSAF, mentioning the valuable professional exchanges and training opportunities with different aircraft and crews.
Although PACAF did not label the bomber deployment as a Bomber Task Force, the B-1 also participated in separate training with four JASDF F-15 Eagles over the Sea of Japan on January 18.
Photos released on PACAF social networks showed supersonic bombers flying next to Japanese F-15 fighters. The purpose of these exercises is to improve the deterrence and response capabilities, as well as the tactical skills of the US-Japan alliance, as declared by PACAF.
Tumblr media
The PACAF spokesman added that they continue to conduct bomber missions in the Indo-Pacific region, demonstrating the effectiveness of the forces to ensure security in various environments. These training opportunities, according to him, support the national security objectives through the speed, flexibility and readiness of strategic bombers.
At the same time, U.S. Air Force F-35 fighters conducted joint training with several aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on January 17 and 19 over the waters of the southern region of the island of Okinawa, Japan.
The two-day exercise involved 27 F-15 jets, one E-767, two E-2C Hawkeyes and two KC-46A Pegasus tanker planes from Japan, along with approximately 10 American F-35s poachers. JASDF announced that the training aimed to improve bilateral response capabilities and tactical skills.
The PACAF spokesman reiterated his commitment to carry out various missions, such as bombers, cargo, refueling and hunting in the Indo-Pacific region, highlighting the effectiveness of the forces in providing security in a varied and uncertain environment.

Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges trivia from Memory Alpha:
- Writer Ronald D. Moore arrived at the title of the episode when browsing at a book store, at a point when he was already working on the episode but hadn't yet titled it. He found a copy of a book by William Rehnquist dealing with the prerogative writ of habeas corpus, and its suspension during the American Civil War. On the book jacket, Moore discovered a blurb in which Abraham Lincoln's suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is described as "a classic case of the old Roman dictum Inter arma silent leges." He felt the phrase would be perfect as this episode's title, as it synchronized well with the installment's theme. He sent the phrase to the show's research consultant, Joan Pearce, and talked with her about it, ensuring that he had the Latin correct. Pearce provided a longer version and told Moore he could arrange the words as he saw fit, since word order did not matter in Latin. ((AOL chat, 1998); Cinefantastique, Vol. 32, No. 4/5, p. 76) Moore noted, "We monkeyed around a little bit with the word order, so it looked good and sounded right […] I was kind of proud of it." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 32, No. 4/5, p. 76)
- Initially, the plan was for Bashir to fool Sloan and to expose him, but early in the writing process, Ron Moore took the script in an entirely other direction; rather than Bashir duping Sloan, Bashir thinks he's duping Sloan, but in reality, Sloan is duping him. As Moore explained; "The trick we came up with here was to really lead him along and make it look to the audience like he's ahead of the game. Make the audience believe he's figuring it all out, and then telling them, 'No – they've figured him out.'" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. 661))
- The episode is closely similar in story and theme to John le Carre's classic Cold War spy novel, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, in which a British intelligence agent participates in an elaborate plot to frame the head of East German intelligence for treason, only to discover that the man really is a British mole, and the outcome of the plot is to discredit a well-meaning, sympathetic member of East German intelligence who was getting close to exposing the mole. Likewise, in this episode, the unsympathetic Koval is saved by a Section 31 deception, while the well-meaning Senator Cretak is sacrificed in order to allow Koval to continue to serve the Federation. Ron Moore commented: "It was more of a challenge as a writer to pull it off and make it a really intriguing puzzle, to keep the audience off balance, to keep them wondering what the next twist was going to be, and yet to play fair with them. If you look back at the episode after it was over with, everything was there. All the clues were there: all the red herrings were there. I didn't just pull things in randomly. I was trying to be true to the concept, to be true to what Sloan would do, to make sure all the motivations worked out. It was a complicated show. But I really enjoyed it. I like spy thrillers, and espionage pieces. It was cool to get a chance to really do one like that, and to take it off the station, set up these other characters and do it on Romulus. It just had a real kind of classic, Cold War feeling to the whole thing. Rick Berman said. ‘You could do this as a stage play set in East Berlin.’That’s right, you really could." (Cinefantastique, Volume 29 Number 6/7)
- The ship on which Bashir travels is called the Bellerophon. In Greek mythology, Bellerophon was the hero who slew the beast Chimera, which is also the title of the episode which was produced directly before "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges". As Ronald D. Moore explains, this was only a coincidence; "The Bellerophon was a ship on which Lord Nelson sailed. That's where I plucked the name from." After someone pointed out that the mythic character of Bellerophon rode the winged horse named Pegasus (also the name of a starship, USS Pegasus, featured in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Pegasus"), Moore commented, "Yeah, someone pointed that out to me after the fact, but I wasn't trying to draw a connection between the two." On the connection between the titles of this and the previous episodes, Moore simply admitted, "I didn't even know that." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. 660))
- Ira Steven Behr was a little disappointed with how this episode ultimately turned out; "It's an excellent show, but it doesn't have all the levels it should have. We thought we'd do a show about the compromising of Bashir. Unfortunately, it doesn't do that. At the end, Bashir winds up making this angry, pointed speech to Ross, which is a lot less interesting than the situation at the end of "In the Pale Moonlight". There, a man is trying to deal with his own culpability. And this is a show that demanded, I felt, Bashir's culpability. And he gets to walk away clean, with him being the one pointing the finger. It takes the show down a notch, and keeps it from reaching the level we wanted." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. 661))
- Of playing a different side to Admiral William Ross, actor Barry Jenner commented; "He'd do anything to save the Federation. And here he puts so much value on the success of the war efforts that he's willing to do things that might not be thought of as honest and aboveboard. He was willing to bend some rules behind the scenes and go through some soul searching to defend the integrity of the Federation." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. 661))
- Behr likened Ross's character change to Sisko's; "Ross is a compromised guy, just like Sisko. But it's not like he's a double agent. If he were, we'd have never allowed him to marry Sisko and Kasidy. It's so spooky talking about this stuff. It almost sounds heretical. Compromised heroes! Compromised supporting characters! It's wonderful, isn't it? I'm very proud of what we've been allowed to do." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. 661))
- Authors Mark Jones and Lance Parkin wrote of this episode, "Some clever writing lets you think Bashir is in control when Section 31 is already one step ahead of the game. Sadly, there's no exploration of Bashir's guilt, which is eloquently swept under the carpet in a fierce retort with Ross towards the end. Inter Arma… has all the makings of a great show, with Bashir subsumed with guilt, but doesn't have the courage of its convictions." (Beyond the Final Frontier, p. 265)
- Star Trek author Keith R.A. DeCandido enjoyed the "courtroom" scene but criticized the fact that Sloan had managed to accomplish everything without being detected once: "The laziest writing tool in the book is the unstoppable foe, in which the foe always manages to avoid detection, always manages to plan three steps ahead, always manages to do something impossible to get away in the end. In this episode alone, Sloan manages to sneak onto and off a military base in the middle of a war twice, get himself assigned to a sensitive mission, corrupt a Starfleet admiral, fake his own death, and get away from the most secure location in the Romulan Empire. We’re given no explanation for how Sloan does any of this—the death-faking is the only thing that even gets a token attempt, and it’s pretty much the same trick the mercenaries pulled in "Gambit, Part I"." In contrast, DeCandido praised the performances of both Adrienne Barbeau (Cretak) and John Fleck (Koval) but expressed disappointment with Barry Jenner, describing his performance as "excessively wooden". Overall, he labelled the episode "very fun" and "…full of some crackling dialogue" awarding it a "warp factor rating" of 6/10. [3]
