Devon resident and civilian Ken Small took on the task of seeking to commemorate the event, after discovering evidence of the aftermath washed up on the shore while [[beachcombing]] in the early 1970s.<ref>{{cite web |last=Jones |first=Claire |date=30 May 2014 |title=The D-Day rehearsal that cost 800 lives |publisher=[[BBC News]] |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-27185893 |access-date=6 August 2016}}</ref>

In 1974, Small bought from the U.S. Government the rights to a submerged tank from the [[70th Tank Battalion (United States)|70th Tank Battalion]] discovered in his search. In 1984, with the aid of local residents and diving firms, he raised the tank, which now stands as a memorial to the incident. The local authority provided a [[plinth]] on the seafront to put the tank on, and erected a plaque in memory of the men killed. The American military honoured and supported him.

The Slapton Sands memorial plaque reads:
{{Blockquote|text=Dedicated by the United States of America in honor of the men of the US Army's 1st Engineer Special Brigade, the 4th Infantry Division, and the VII Corps Headquarters; and the US Navy's 11th Amphibious Force who perished in the waters of Lyme Bay during the early hours of April 28, 1944.}}

A plaque was erected in 1995 at [[Arlington National Cemetery]] entitled "Exercise Tiger Memorial". In 1997, the Exercise Tiger Association established a memorial to veterans of the exercise in [[Mexico, Missouri]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Memorials to Exercise Tiger |website=United States Exercise Tiger Foundation |url=http://www.exercisetiger.org/exercise-tiger-memorials.html |access-date=6 August 2016}}</ref> It is a 5,000-pound stern anchor from an LST of the [[USS Suffolk County (LST-1173)|Suffolk County Class]] on permanent loan from the Navy. In 2006, the non-profit  Sands Memorial Tank Limited established a more prominent memorial listing the names of all the victims of the attacks on Exercise Tiger.<ref>{{cite web |last=Casson |first=John |title=Exercise Tiger Remembered |website=Exercise Tiger Memorial.co.uk |url=https://exercisetigermemorial.co.uk/honoured-dead |access-date=6 August 2016}}</ref>

In 2012, a memorial plaque was erected at [[Utah Beach]], [[Normandy]], on the wall of a former German anti-aircraft bunker. 

An [[M4 Sherman tank]] stands as a memorial to Exercise Tiger at [[Fort Rodman]] Park in [[New Bedford, Massachusetts]].

In 2019, the US servicemen who died in the exercise were remembered in an art installation by artist Martin Barraud. Bootprints of 749 troops were laid out on Slapton Sands to mark the 75th anniversary of Exercise Tiger. Commemorative bootprints and special plaques made by veterans to represent each of the 22,763 British and Commonwealth servicemen and women who were killed on D-Day and during the Battle of Normandy in the summer of 1944 were sold. Barraud said:
{{Blockquote|text=Our enduring hope is that every one of the US, British and Commonwealth soldiers, sailors and airmen who gave their lives will have a bootprint purchased in their memory.<ref>{{cite web |date=28 April 2019 |title=Exercise Tiger: Bootprints mark D-Day disaster 75th anniversary |publisher=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-48082397 |access-date=5 July 2022}}</ref>}}
