SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Due to circumstances beyond the control of 
the Department of Defense, the Reserve Forces Policy Board was unable 
to provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) 
concerning its June 5, 2024 meeting. 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.
    This meeting is being held under the provisions of chapter 10 of 
title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.) (commonly known as the ``Federal 
Advisory Committee Act'' or ``FACA''), 5 U.S.C. 552b (commonly known as 
the ``Government in the Sunshine Act''), and title 41, Code of Federal 
Regulations, section 102-3.140 and section 102-3.155. Purpose of the 
Meeting: The purpose of the meeting is to obtain, review, and evaluate 
relevant information related to strategies, policies, and practices 
designed to improve and enhance the capabilities, efficiency, 
effectiveness, and accessibility of the Reserve Component (RC).
    Agenda: The RFPB will hold an open meeting to the public from 12:30 
p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. The RFPB will begin the 
meeting at 12:30 p.m. with opening remarks by Mr. Eric Flowers, the DFO 
and Major General John Hashem, United States Army, the RFPB's Military 
Executive and the RFPB Chairperson, the Honorable Lisa Disbrow. After 
the introductory remarks, the RFPB will receive briefings from two of 
its subcommittees, starting at 12:40 p.m. The Reserve Components' Role 
in Homeland Defense and Support to Civil Authorities subcommittee will 
provide a five-minute update on the previously approved subcommittee's 
draft report on RC support to Homeland Defense and building resilience 
of the Defense Critical Infrastructure. The Total Force Integration 
subcommittee will follow with a five-minute recap of the subcommittee's 
deliberation and actions during the morning session. After the 
subcommittee reports, at approximately 1:00 p.m., participants will 
participate in an hour-long panel discussion featuring Lieutenant 
General Jon Jensen, Director of the Army National Guard and Mr. Scott 
Fuller, Deputy Chief of the Navy Reserve. The two speakers will 
facilitate an interactive session that shares ``lessons learned'' and 
``potential way ahead'' from a Reserve Component Chief's perspective. 
The session serves as a forum to identify opportunities and challenges 
tied to the RC's integrated efforts to execute the National Defense 
Strategy. After the panel discussion, participants will conduct a 15-
minute break from 2:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. At approximately 2:15 p.m., 
Brigadier General Nathan D. Yates, United States Space Force, will 
present an hour-long information brief on the status of the United 
States Space Force's implementation of the single component concept 
approved in the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (Pub. L. 96-
513). At the conclusion of the Space Force brief, at approximately 3:15 
p.m. the Honorable Disbrow will offer closing remarks and adjourn the 
meeting at approximately 3:30 p.m.
