The 57th Adversary Tactics Group consists of two aggressor squadrons, the 64th AGRS flying F-16 aircraft and the 65th AGRS flying F-15 aircraft, that replicate adversary threat tactics while training combat air forces aircrews. The 65th AGRS is assigned 24 F-15 aircraft, painted in camouflage schemes identical to those observed on Russian-manufactured Su-27 Flanker fighters. The aggressor squadron program has its origins in the post-Vietnam War Air Force, when in 1975 the benefits of evaluating obtained Foreign Technology aircraft at test ranges in Nevada were applied to operational fighter squadrons, in order to improve the combat flying skills of front-line USAF pilots during the Cold War.
