    The 379th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron’s Base Weather Flight is the official weather source for Al Udeid Air Base. Coalition forces, including the Qatar Emiri Air Force, use the flight’s information for all of their weather needs and mission planning. Duties include conducting “geographic familiarization flight” to determine how terrain influences weather patterns. Additionally, the flight has three major functions: mission integration, airfield support, and staff integration. The largest function is mission integration, which includes mission execution forecasts and flight weather briefings. Another function of the weather flight is airfield support, in which Airmen are responsible for weather observing and resource protection.
