Ready Tiger 24-1: 51 CBCS provides network capabilities at FOS Avon
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jordan Taylor, 51st Combat Communications Squadron special missions satellite communications supervisor, attaches an antenna to a ground antenna transmit and receive (GATR) ball for Exercise Ready Tiger 24-1 at Avon Park Air Force Range, Florida, April 9, 2024. The GATR ball was designed to be lighter and more compact than a traditional satellite antenna to travel with, and assemble and reassemble quicker in austere locations. Built upon Air Combat Command's directive to assert air power in contested environments, Exercise Ready Tiger 24-1 aims to test and enhance the 23rd Wing’s proficiency in executing Lead Wing and Expeditionary Air Base concepts through Agile Combat Employment and command and control operations.
