Our atmosphere is in a constant state of change. Because the ability
of our military services to respond rapidly to flashpoints around the
world and to properly train for their respective missions is highly
dependent upon the weather, each U.S. military service maintains units
responsible for monitoring, prediction and research of atmospheric and
oceanographic conditions ranging in scale from local to global. With
the advent of spaceflight and the high degree of reliance we now place
upon satellites for communication and surveillance, this mission has been
extended into the upper atmosphere and magnetosphere of Earth to
encompass what has come to be known as space weather.
