Purpose

This regulation provides policy and states responsibilities for Air Force (AF) elements engaged in meteorological support of the Army's mission and provides guidance to the Army for supporting the AF in that role. Inter-Service and intra-Service cooperation and synchronization are imperative to the establishment and maintenance of effective and efficient weather support and services in support of the Army's mission. The policy contained in this regulation guides this mutually supporting relationship. This regulation describes responsibilities of the AF to provide weather support and services to enable the Army's mission, and the responsibilities of the Army to support the AF as they develop and execute weather operations and provide weather services. This regulation assigns the Army and AF general responsibilities in the areas of operations, communications, training, administration, budget, and logistics. It includes Army and AF responsibilities for the execution of installation, garrison, and deployed (combat or field) weather operations. This publication does not address special operations forces-peculiar weather-related requirements and/or relationships.
