SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Joint Experimentation 
will meet in closed session on March 7, 2003, at Strategic Analysis 
Inc., 3601 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA. This Task Force will 
examine joint experimentation programs and activities and will 
recommend ways to enhance the contributions of joint experimentation to 
transformation.
    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 this 
meeting, the Defense Science Board Task Force will review the Joint 
Forces Command's program of joint experimentation and recommend steps 
to enhance its value by examining the goals, process and substance of 
the experimentation program, to include: Creating an environment that 
fosters innovation and learning; collecting, analyzing, interpreting, 
vetting and disseminating data; engaging the Services, other Commands, 
key U.S. government agencies and allies; and developing and using 
models, simulations and other tools. In addition, the Task Force will 
review the recently completed Millennium Challenge 02 to identify 
insights and opportunities that may not have been focused on by those 
closer to the activity.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Public Law No. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined that this Defense Science Board Task Force meeting concerns 
matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, the 
meeting will be closed to the public.
