In 1966 the United States Air Force (USAF) commissioned Cessna to build a military variant of the Skymaster.

As with the civilian version. the Skymaster was a low-cost twin-engine piston-powered aircraft. with one engine in the nose of the aircraft and a second engine in the rear of the fuselage.

The USAF took delivery of the O-2 Skymaster in March 1967. By 1970. a total of 532 O-2s had been built. in two variants. for the USAF.
Six former USAF O-2A airframes were transferred to the U.S. Navy in 1983 for use as range controllers with Attack Squadron 122 (VA-122). the Pacific Fleet Replacement Squadron for the A-7 Corsair II at Naval Air Station Lemoore . California. They were transferred to VFA-125. Nevada.
