Office of the Secretary

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Seabasing will meet in 
closed session on November 5-6, 2002, and November 18-19, 2002, at 
Strategic Analysis, Inc., 3601 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA. The 
Task Force will assess how seabasing of expeditionary forces can best 
serve the nation's defense needs through at least the first half of the 
21st century.
    The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary 
of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology & Logistics on scientific and technical matters as they 
affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At these 
meetings, the Defense Science Board Task Force will examine the 
broadest range of alternatives for seabasing of expeditionary forces 
and be guided by: the expected naval environment for the next 20-50 
years; the role of naval forces in enabling access for joint forces 
through the world's littorals; assets and technologies needed to 
establish a robust and capable Enhanced Networked Seabase; the timing 
of the acquisition of the technologies, platforms and systems which 
replace the legacy systems; and the function of new hardware and 
opportunities to reallocate functionality to improve effectiveness, or 
efficiency, or economy.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. L. No. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined that these Defense Science Board Task Force meetings concern 
matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, these 
meetings will be closed to the public.

    Dated: October 9, 2002.
