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

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Red Lessons Learned 
will meet in closed session on December 16-17, 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, Public Law 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: November 29, 2004.
