The 25th Special Mission Forces Division, colloquially known by their former name Tiger Forces (Arabic: قُوَّات النِّمْر; Quwwat al-Nimr), is an elite special forces unit, that was part of the Syrian Army under the charge of the commander Major General Saleh Abdullah.[5] It was formed in late 2013 and functioned primarily as an offensive unit in the Syrian Civil War.[6] It had been described as a "hot commodity for any government offensive", but their relatively small numbers made it difficult to deploy them to multiple fronts at once.[7]
