This document is a report detailing findings and recommendations from the SWAG (Space Weather Advisory Group) regarding the implementation of the National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan. It outlines the progress made by SWORM (Space Weather Operations, Research, and Mitigation) over the past nine years in enhancing awareness and resilience to space weather impacts. The report presents a series of overarching recommendations, including the need for funding the Federal Space Weather Enterprise, creating an applied research program office within NOAA, and ensuring coordination across the national space weather enterprise. Specific recommendations focus on improving ground-based and airborne sensors, enhancing data and computing infrastructure, and assessing the economic impacts of space weather. The report also emphasizes the importance of stakeholder engagement across industry and government to foster a comprehensive approach to space weather resilience. Next steps include engaging relevant stakeholders and Congress to monitor implementation progress and address user needs.
