The 55th Weather Squadron was originally activated during World War II to provide essential weather forecasting and atmospheric support for United States Army Air Forces operations. Over the decades, the unit evolved, supporting a variety of missions, including reconnaissance and strategic operations during the Cold War. The squadron played a critical role in ensuring flight safety and mission success by delivering timely meteorological data to commanders and aircrews.
