The United States Air Force's 497th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group (497 ISRG) is an intelligence unit located at Langley AFB, Virginia.

Mission

Provide near-real-time, high confidence intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance reporting to Joint Force and Component Commanders.

Vision

To bridge the knowledge and capability gap between DCGS operations and ongoing contingency operations.

Priorities

To present the AN/GSQ-272 system or DGS-1 in the same manner as other joint warfighting capabilities.

To enhance support to ongoing contingency operations through multi-intelligence exploitation and fusion.

To take care of Airmen; it’s not a bumper sticker, rather something that has to be earned.

GP Leadership Philosophy

Never forget where you came from.

Find three ways to do something; not 32 ways not to do something.

Lead by example.
