Eager Tiger
During May 1996 US and Jordanian air force units engaged in war games entitled "Eager Tiger." The air expeditionary force [AEF] deployment in Jordan came to an end at the end of June 1996. King Hussein made a visit on May 11 to the base in Jordan from which the operation was being flown and praised it and particularly highlighted the extensive cooperation that our forces had had with the royal Jordanian air force in a training exercise, Operation EAGER TIGER. AEF personnel instructed Royal Jordanian Air Force personnel in maintenance of the F-16 which the RJAF would receive over the next few years. They also practiced airfield management, flight and ground safety, academic and doctrine classes, and ran the Eager Tiger joint exercise.
