"Forward with NOAA" was composed by Harold W. "Bud" Arberg, the arranger of "The Army Goes Rolling Along" in 1988 at the request of his son Bob Arberg, who had been prompted by the National Association of Commissioned Officers to help devise a song for the agency.{{cite web |title=Forward With NOAA (NOAA Corps Song) |url=https://web.archive.org/web/1/www.omao.noaa.gov/find/media/audio/forward-noaa-noaa-corps-song |website=noaa.gov |publisher=NOAA |accessdate=July 25, 2019}} It was subsequently adopted by the NOAA Corps as its official marching song.{{cite news |title='Post' Discovers U.S. Agencies' Marching Songs |url=https://web.archive.org/web/1/www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=14191429 |accessdate=July 25, 2019 |work=NPR |date=September 5, 2007}}{{cite web |title=NOAA: The Musical |url=https://www.govexec.com/federal-news/2007/09/noaa-the-musical/37795/ |website=govexec.com |date=5 September 2007 |publisher=Government Executive Magazine |accessdate=July 26, 2019}}
