Tiger Claw is a readiness exercise aimed at executing General Brown’s, 22nd Chief of Staff of the Air Force, goals for operational readiness and demonstrating the Air Force’s commitment to the ‘Accelerate, Change or Lose’ initiative. 

Tiger Claw was designed to help the Air Force develop new methods of efficiently generating aircraft and assembling equipment packages for deployment to better execute ACE concepts in a modern, contested environment.

The 79th FS is dedicated to sharpening the skills of their pilots to provide effective combat airpower in defense of the United States and its allies anytime, anywhere.
