Formed in 2006, Tigercat was originally an anti-government militia based in North Carolina. After several close calls with government officals, they moved thier operation to Scrub Island near Sint Maarten. As Tigercat grew in size it became clear that a new formation was needed. Through family ties, founding member Ivan Young was able to achieve the support of Russia and Russia began to train and equip Tigercat. Tigercat also began a scamming operation, scamming American fire arm companies into selling weapons to the fictional "Private American Military Association." By passing themselves off as security contractors, Tigercat operators were able to obtain large amounts of American made weapons. As years went by Tigercat was able to form into a well rounded para-military organization. They had an airforce made up of Russian jets including the MiG-29, Su-25 and Su-22 among others. They operated the MI-24 and Mi-28 attack helicopters as well as the Mi-8 transport. Armored vehicles included the BMP-3, BMP-2, mostly T-80's with several T-90's.
On July 1st 2010 Tigercat launched the attack on Sint Maarten, twenty five days later the United States First and Third Marine divisions launched an amphibious attack on Sint Maarten. Facing heavy attack from Tigercat aircraft and helicopters as they moved towards land, the USMC lost ten AAV's between the two beaches. At red beach the First fought for control of Princess Juliana International Airport, a fight that took five hours and cost both sides heavy losses. At orange beach, the Third was able to secure the beach but was held out of Philipsburg by Tigercat soldiers. Sporadic firefights went on through the night and in the morning the Third launched an assault on Philipsburg, beggining a five day battle for the city. USMC forces soon began to realize the potential of Tigercat and was forced to change thier tactics. One day after the landings two US destroyers were hit by anti-ship missiles, one was lightly damaged and made it home, the second suffered a catastrophic explosion and sank, taking most of her crew with her. After about a month of fighting, the the First moved into Marigot, beggining a brutal month long battle that would completely level the city and see the highest US casualty rate since the Vietnam war. As Marine Private David Freeman recalled "The city was terrible for vehicle support, many of the streets were too narrow for an Abrams, many others were blocked by destroyed vehcicles, thiers or ours it didnt matter." The fighting in Marigot ended on September 28th 2010 and shortly after the First moved along the coastline of the island. Smaller scale operations continued and one of the last major operations of the war was the capturing of L'Espérance Airport from Tigercat forces.
On October 27th 2010 Tigercat withdrew from the island and launched another attack, this time closer to home...
