Office of the Secretary;


Defense Science Board

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee Meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Red Lessons Learned 
will meet in closed session on August 31, 2004, and September 21, 2004, 
at SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA. This Task Force will 
assess what useful information can our adversaries learn from U.S. 
military engagement and, particularly, what might they have learned 
from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom; identify 
the channels through which adversaries learn about U.S. capabilities; 
is there any evidence an adversary is adjusting to U.S. capabilities 
and what might the U.S. do to counter this; what are the indicators or 
observables that the Intelligence Community can focus on to determine 
if an adversary is engaging in this type of practice and do the 
indicators change in peacetime or wartime; do different technology 
insertion models exist; is there any evidence potential adversaries are 
targeting the seams in the U.S. command and control alignment and 
planning process; and the preceding areas of concern focus primarily on 
the military operations phases, are the potential adversaries 
observing, analyzing and adapting during the preparation and 
stabilization phase?
    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.
    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 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: August 18, 2004.
