8-USAF 8.1.2.3 Expeditionary Weather Forces. 8.1.2.3.1 Expeditionary Weather Force Structure. The expeditionary weather force structure is based on the three levels of warfare--strategic, operational, and tactical--and is supported by specific organizations. • Strategic level. Strategic weather centers (e.g., Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA), AF Combat Climatology Center (AFCCC), 55 Space Weather Squadron (SWXS)) produce climatological, space weather, and strategic level forecast products (including numerical weather prediction) emphasizing the global/hemispheric and longer temporal domains. COMAFFOR ASETF/CC Operational Special Staff AOC AEW AEW AEW Wing Ops Center Staff Expeditionary Operations Group Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron (incl the CWT) Expeditionary Logistics Group Expeditionary Support Group Expeditionary Medical Group Tactical Figure 8-3. Notional Command Structure for an Aerospace Expeditionary Task Force • Operational/theater level. The OWS is the main provider of data, products, and services for the theater. Typically aligned with a NAF Air Operations Center, the OWS continuously monitors, evaluates, and assesses current conditions and predicts future weather events, tailoring strategic level products from the strategic centers. Part of the OWS may deploy with the AFFOR, AOC, and/or JFACC, as required, to influence and support weaponeering, targeting cells, campaign planning, and combat operations. The OWS issues terminal aerodrome forecasts (TAFs) and resource protection products (watches/warnings) previously issued by CWTs 8-4
8-USAF • Tactical level. The Combat Weather Team (CWT), collocated with the Air Force's basic warfighting unit--the squadron--concentrates on specialized weather support to the mission execution functions. Meteorologists and technicians at the CWT are experts on AEF weapon systems and tactics; they develop specific AEF mission execution weather information based on fine scale, operational level weather information provided by the OWS. 8.1.2.3.2 Categories of AEF Weather Forces. AEF weather forces are built around three basic categories: lead weather element, weapon system experts, and expeditionary airfield support. These three elements join at the fixed and/or "warm" base to form and AEF Weather Flight within the AEF structure. This AEF weather flight is part of the deployed expeditionary operational support squadron (OSS). • Lead weather element. The senior weather officer, who normally supports the leadflying unit, deploys to support the AEF Senior Leadership Command Echelon (AEF Commander and staff). The lead weather force will usually include the expeditionary airfield support if the AEF command element deploys to a "warm" or bare base. • Weapon system specialists. These personnel, subject matter experts on weather effects on weapon systems and mission capabilities, are organized, trained, equipped, and structured to support air superiority (OCA/DCA), precision attack with guided munitions (PGMs), suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), close air support/counter armor (CAS/CA), and global attack (GA) missions. • Expeditionary airfield support. Comprised primarily of NCOs, these forecasters' duties involve direct support to airfield operations, including taking observations, coordinating with the OWS for TAF and resource protection support, and coordinating with host nation weather services, as required. The deployed template for AFFOR airfield support consists of one officer and two NCOs for 24-hour leadership, three NCOs for 24/7 airfield observing and CWT operations, and one additional NCO per assigned flying squadron. If a flying squadron requires electro-optical (EO) and/or Night Vision Goggle (NVG) support, an additional NCO is added (e.g., two NCOs per F-15E squadron rather than one). 8.1.2.3.3 AEF Weather Unit Locations. An AEF may deploy to multiple beddown sites, but always remains under the control of the overall AEF commander. • AEF forces deploy to either Main Operating Bases (MOBs; e.g., Incirlik AB) or Collocated Operating Bases (COBs). MOBs usually have existing weather functions in-place, reducing deploying CWT requirements. COBs usually have no indigenous forecasting or observing equipment available. 8-5
