Recent History
The 2nd Systems Operations Squadron was constituted in March 2007 when the Air Force Weather Agency restructured their agency. They are a subordinate to the 2nd Weather Group and play a pivotal role in transmitting weather forecasts and products to the decision makers and warfighters via high-speed computers and satellite communications.
The 2nd SYOS is also at the forefront of the Air Force's transformation towards network-centric combat operations, enabling faster reachback support for our ops-savvy battlefield weather warriors and their supported decision makers.
In addition, the squadron provides full-time technical systems assistance to joint weather operators worldwide and manages the net-centric environmental data used to sustain air, space and ground operations executed by unified and combatant commands around the world.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
