Might have a different experience here, but in yours why did they put them with Intel? More of the "recon" sort of vibe for weather?
Not the whole answer, but historically the Army only had 5 shops, 1-4 and 6. S/G-5 wasn't really a thing for years. Maybe on paper or as a place to bury some extra bodies, but not in practice. The S-5, S-7, S-8-9,000 staff structure really took off in the GWOT. DA SWO covered the second part of my answer.
