Abstract: We define a 3-loop group $Omeg{a}^{3}G$ as a subgroup of smooth maps from a 3-ball to a Lie group $G$, and then construct a 2-group based on an automorphic action on the Mickelsson-Faddeev extension of $Omeg{a}^{3}G$. In this we follow the strategy of Murray et al., who earlier described a similar construction in one dimension. The three-dimensional situation presented here is further complicated by the fact that the 3-loop group extension is not central.
