Ubi bene ibi patria
"B-2 Spirit stealth bombers deployed to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, dropped several 2,000-pound bombs on a weapons range in Hawaii on Oct. 23, Pacific Air Forces announced.

The bombing run, part of Exercise Koa Lightning, required the B-2s to fly from Guam to Hawaii and link up with tactical air control party airmen on the ground before dropping their ordnance at the Pohakuloa Training Area, according to a PacAF press release.

Using old-fashioned “dumb bombs” without precision guidance, the TACPs and B-2 crews coordinated a mock air attack that successfully hit the targets, the release said. TACPs are airmen embedded with Army units who coordinate close air support for ground troops."
