DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

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 October 22, 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, P.L. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), 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 7, 2004.
