SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. Specifically, the Task Force's focus will be to evaluate force 
protection in the context of post major combat operations that have 
been conducted in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the operations, loss of 
national treasure--military and civilian, U.S. and other nations--has 
resulted from actions executed by non-state and rogue actors. The 
threat and capabilities these insurgent, terrorist and criminal actions 
present post a most serious challenge to our ability to achieve unified 
action.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. 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: May 17, 2005.
