MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D.-- Col. Charles E. Patnaude, 5th Operations Group commander, passes the guidon to Lt. Col Michael Cardoza, 69th Bomb Squadron commander, during the 69th’s activation ceremony here, Sept. 3. The new squadron was established to provide each B-52 Wing with two active-duty combat coded squadrons, which will give the Air Force “bench depth” to rotate the squadrons across the mission sets as recommended in the Defense Science Board Report.
