The 164th Tactical Weather Operations Group, known colloquially as the Grey Berets, is an elite unit within the Astra Militarum specializing in meteorological reconnaissance. In a universe where every advantage counts, these soldiers are tasked with securing critical environmental data—storm patterns, radiation levels, and atmospheric anomalies—prior to major offensives.

To support their operations, Valkyries and Grav Chute deployments deliver an array of specialized equipment—barometers, temperature gauges, and weather-monitoring servitors—directly into the heart of conflict zones. Once on the ground, the Grey Berets traverse hostile terrain and evade enemy patrols to retrieve the data, ensuring that the broader Imperial forces are never caught unawares by environmental hazards.

Equipped with state-of-the-art auspex scanners and modified vox arrays for long-range communication, these operatives combine tactical precision with rapid, silent execution. Their insertion methods—whether by Grav Chute or Valkyrie —allow them to operate under the cover of darkness or adverse weather, enhancing their survivability in even the most chaotic warzones.

Legends persist of entire squads lost to the tumult of warp storms, their final transmissions a grim reminder of the cost of foresight. Yet, the sacrifices of the Grey Berets provide the Imperium with indispensable intelligence, a strategic edge in the endless war for survival.

Commissar Thaddeus Varek of the 8th Iron Guard once stated, "In the face of oblivion, the Grey Berets stand unyielding. Their honor is as unflinching as the Emperor's will—an ever-burning beacon amid the storm of chaos." This rallying cry encapsulates the spirit and dedication that drives the 164th Tactical Weather Operations Group.

Bearing the battle cry, "The Storm Breaks Before Us," the 164th Tactical Weather Operations Group stands as a testament to the Imperium's relentless drive for dominance—melding military rigor with the unforgiving realities of a galaxy at war.
