The 707th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group (707 ISRG) is a unit of the United States Air Force 70th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing located at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland.

The group is the largest group in the 70th ISR Wing with more than 1,900 personnel executing both Air Force and National Security Agency missions. Intelligence provided by the group's men and women serves customers such as the President, Secretary of Defense, Combatant Commanders and warfighters on the ground engaged in worldwide operations, including the War in Afghanistan (2001--2021).

The Group is a key enabler of, and contributor to, AF National-Tactical Integration and Expeditionary Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), as well as the AF Distributed Common Ground System, all of which are focused on providing combat intelligence to deployed Department of Defense personnel. Their mission also includes computer network operations as well as manufacturing and installing communications intelligence equipment for SIGINT missions worldwide.

Additionally, the Group serves as the lead for the Global Air Analysis SIGINT mission which analyzes and reports high-interest aerial activity. Finally, the 707th ISR Group operates the Consolidated Remote Operations Facility, Airborne, providing near real-time intelligence support to ongoing sensitive reconnaissance missions.
