This publication describes how weather operators collect, analyze, predict, tailor, and integrate environmental information into commanders’ decision cycles. Weather operations integrate into kinetic and non-kinetic operations at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of warfare. Weather forces, as part of the joint team, deliver accurate, coherent, comprehensive, consistent, relevant, timely and standardized environmental information, products and services across the air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace domains to gain and maintain an advantage. Commanders utilize this advantage to integrate, synchronize, and direct operations thereby outmaneuvering the adversary more effectively and executing lethal actions.
This document has been substantially revised to include being renamed as an instruction, therefore must be completely reviewed. Changes include alignment with current DAF priorities, policies, and the 6 September 2024 Secretary of the Air Force Vision for Weather Operations. These changes maximize flexibility, authority, and autonomy of commanders responsible for integrating Air Force Weather capabilities, resources, and personnel into operations. Administrative updates, primarily updating reference information and scrubbing acronyms. Removal of unused definitions
Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.

1 publication in 1 other community depend on this one. Each community inspects its own publications; a dependency that crosses communities is owned by nobody, which is why this list normally does not exist anywhere. Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
If DAFI 15-129 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
