The 174th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Flamin' Sabers" is a component of the 185th Fighter Wing alongside the 170th FS, 175th FS, and the 177th TFS. They have deployed in the Strike Eagle in nearly every conflict since the Belkan Civil War and has performed admirably in all combat since. During the Lighthouse War one of the squadron's Mudhens (specifically SerNo. 92-074) became the first individual Strike Eagle to drop over 1,000,000 pounds of ordnance in total when its crew used twelve 500 lb JDAMs on an Erusean air base, destroying fifteen or more aircraft on the ground.
This aircraft, SerNo. 93-571, was flown during the Lighthouse War by 1Lt. Kiera "Clipper" Palmer and Capt. Glenn "Muppet" Price and destroyed several enemy tanks, later going on to participate in the intervention into the Erusean Civil War until the squadron transferred to the F-15EX Golden Eagle in late 2024, scoring several kills. The aircraft is depicted as it was in 2019
