  • Terrain analysis, light data, and weather — The S2 provides intelligence support for operations planning by providing analyses of terrain (Areas of Operation), lighting and weather conditions, and how each impacts the success of operations. 

  • Maps and navigational tools — The S2 is responsible for the distribution, training, use, and collections of maps, map reading tools, and navigational equipment (compasses, protractors, etc.). Procurement of such materials should be coordinated with the S4

  • Safety risk management — The S2 performs safety risk management (SRM) for cadet activities by reviewing upcoming operations plans and orders to conduct an analysis on the hazards which may require mitigation to prevent injury, illness, or damage to property.
