(PROSWIFT) Act, 51 U.S.C. 60601 et seq., the Administrator of NOAA and
the National Science and Technology Council's Space Weather Operations,
Research, and Mitigation (SWORM) Subcommittee established the Space

the PROSWIFT Act, 51 U.S.C. 60601 et seq.
The SWAG is directed to advise the SWORM on the following:
facilitating advances in the space weather enterprise of the United
States; improving the ability of the United States to prepare for,
mitigate, respond to, and recover from space weather phenomena;
enabling the coordination and facilitation of research to operations
and operations to research, as described in section 60604(d) of title
51, United States Code; and developing and implementing the integrated
strategy under 51 U.S.C. 60601(c), including subsequent updates and
reevaluations. The SWAG shall also conduct a comprehensive survey of
the needs of users of space weather products to identify the space
weather research, observations, forecasting, prediction, and modeling
advances required to improve space weather products, as required by 51
U.S.C. 60601(d)(3).
