B-roll footage inside of an HC-130J Combat King II assigned to the 71st Rescue Squadron during Exercise Ready Tiger 24-1, April 13, 2024. The exercise simulated a downed pilot scenario which tested the combat search and rescue team’s ability to respond at a moment's notice. During Ready Tiger 24-1, exercise inspectors will assess the 23rd Wing's proficiency in employing decentralized command and control to fulfill air tasking orders across geographically dispersed areas amid communication challenges, integrating Agile Combat Employment principles such as integrated combat turns, forward aerial refueling points, multi-capable Airmen, and combat search and rescue capabilities.
