SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Enabling Joint Force 
Capabilities will tentatively meet in closed session on July 1, 2003, 
at SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA. This Task force will 
review the current state of assigned responsibilities and 
accountability for joint capabilities to quickly bring combat forces 
together and focus them on joint objectives across a wide spectrum of 
possible contingencies and will help identify unfilled needs and areas 
where assigned responsibility and accountability calls for further 
clarification and/or organizational arrangements.
    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 the 
meeting, the Defense Science Board Task Force will identify specific 
characteristics and examples of organizations that could be capable of 
accepting responsibility and accountability for delivering the 
capability with needed responsiveness, and will recommend further steps 
to strengthen the joint structure ability to quickly integrate service-
provided force capabilities into effective joint forces.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. L. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined that the Defense Science Board Task Force meeting concerns 
matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552(c)(1) and that, accordingly, the meeting 
will be closed to the public.
