The 10th was formed to assist the Stargate Special Operations Command in its design function - rapid-response support of deployed Stargate teams, and other defensive or offensive missions on- or off-world, against land-, air-, or space-based threats. The 10th operates as an Air Force fixed - wing squadron. We train pilots on both a modified version of the F-302 space-superiority fighter, as well as, all available alien spacecraft. As members of the Stargate Special Operations Command, all Tau’ri Furies personnel are expected to maintain at least basic proficiency levels as ground-combat troops, in order to be able to effectively participate in attacks on or capture of air or spacecraft from enemy airfields or carrier vessels. 
  

While the Tau’ri Furies were formed as part of the SG-SOCOM, its history draws upon a dedicated corp of USAF fighter pilots. Seeking to ensure that the best trained and qualified pilots currently serving in the USAF would be assigned to Atlantis Project, the 10th drew members from the graduating classes of 2004’s Red Flag and Blue Flag exercises. The F-302 pilots trained for over a year in secret, patiently awaiting the activation and assignment of their new squadron and its advanced equipment. The 10th's F-302 fighters feature advancements in stealth, recon equipment, and ground support capabilities. Although black is the primary color for the 10th's F-302s, special camo schemes are available for different off-world environments... including tiger-stripes and cloaking. Asgard technology enhances these F-302s with color changing skins, not only being stealthy to radar but also to the naked eye. Special shielding also rounds out the package.

Having previously flown the F-117 Stealth Fighter the “Avenging Angel,” the 10th’s first C.O. choose to honor that lineage and thus named the newly formed squadron the “Tau’ri Furies.” Thus the 10th still enjoys a special camaraderie with the famed 416th TFS. Since its activation the 10th has rotated some of its pilots aboard the Prometheus, Daedalus, and Odyssey for Space Ops and combat training. When the call came for assistance in Antarctica to defend SG-1, several of the 10th’s pilots were able to gain combat experience against the Goa’uld Death Gilders. Since then the 10th has continued to serve in secret, even while many of their contemporaries continue to serve abroad in the Iraq, Afghanistan or in US CAPs. With the mission to the Pegasus Galaxy underway, the 10th is proud to serve with distinction ensuring the protection of the Tau’ri.
