As the third largest Air Force base, Vandenberg is a premiere location, not only polar orbiting launches, but also for exercises. For this reason, Tiger Rescue IV was executed March 25 through 31, here. Tiger Rescue IV was a joint-unit rescue operation using assets from the 55th, 58th, 71st and 129th Rescue Squadrons, with support from the 30th Operations Support Squadron, and 30th Space Wing Safety, and many Vandenberg Airmen.
