As part of the transfer of control underway in South Korea, the South Korean Air Force will handle military weather forecasting for both peacetime and wartime operations, reports The Korea Times.

By tradition, USAF provides weather data for both the Air Force and Army.
The Space Development Agency added 21 satellites to its nascent data transport network in an Oct. 15 launch, the second mission in a 10-month campaign to field 154 operational spacecraft.
