SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 
U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
    Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Department of 
Defense (DoD) and the Designated Federal Officer, the meeting schedule 
for the previously announced meeting of the U.S. Army Science Board on 
July 19, 2018 was changed and the Designated Federal Officer to the 
U.S. Army Science Board was unable to provide sufficient public 
notification of this change as required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a). 
Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer for the 
Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15- 
calendar day notification requirement.
    Purpose of the Meeting: The purpose of the meeting is for ASB 
members to review, deliberate, and vote on the findings and 
recommendations presented for two Fiscal Year 2018 ASB Studies.
    Agenda: The ASB will present findings and recommendations for 
deliberation and vote on the following studies: Multi Domain Battle II. 
This study is classified and will be discussed from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 
a.m.; Manned Unmanned Teaming. This study is classified and will be 
discussed from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
    Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 
41 CFR 102-3.155, the Department of the Army has determined that the 
meeting shall be closed to the public. Specifically, the Administrative 
Assistant to the Secretary of the Army, in consultation with the Office 
of the Army General Counsel, has determined in writing that the public 
interest requires that all sessions of the committee's meeting will be 
closed to the public because they will be concerned with classified 
information and matters covered by section 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1).
    Written Statements: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140, 
and section 10(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972, the 
public or interested organizations may submit written statements to the 
ASB about its mission and functions. Written statements may be 
submitted at any time or in response to the stated agenda of a planned 
meeting of the ASB. All written statements must be submitted to the 
Designated Federal Officer (DFO) at the address listed above, and this 
individual will ensure that the written statements are provided to the 
membership for their consideration. Written statements not received at 
least 10 calendar days prior to the meeting may not be considered by 
the ASB prior to its scheduled meeting. After reviewing written 
comments, the DFO may choose to invite the submitter of the comments to 
orally present their issue during a future open meeting.
