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.
