The 13th Bomb Squadron is a squadron of the USAF assigned to the 509th Operations Group, Air Force Global Strike Command, stationed at Whiteman AFB, MO. The squadron is equipped with the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber. In June 2005, the Air Force announced the 13th Bomb Squadron would replace the 325th Bomb Squadron at Whiteman AFB, MO, and transition to the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit bomber. On 23 September 2005, the 13th Bomb Squadron passed the flag and time honored traditions of the unit to future Reapers at Whiteman AFB. Among its first assignments as a unit of the only stealth bomber wing in the USAF was to deploy to Andersen AFB, Guam in June 2006, to take part in the ongoing rotation which provides the U.S. Pacific Command a continuous bomber presence necessary to maintain stability and security for the Asia-Pacific region. This is the blue-red version with the black bordered deployment patch created for that DET. It shows the “REAPER” with his scythe over one of the PACOM Theater islands (prefer not to specify) and says “THE DEVILS OWN GRIM REAPERS” (bottom). This patch does not have velcro attached.
