military education programs. The AEAC will assess and provide 
independent advice and recommendations across the spectrum of 
educational policies, school curricula, educational philosophy and 
objectives, program effectiveness, facilities, staff and faculty, 
instructional methods, and other aspects of the organization and 
management of these programs. The AEAC will also provide independent 
advice and recommendations on matters pertaining to the Army Historical 
Program and the role and mission of the U.S. Army Center of Military 
History, particularly as they pertain to the study and use of military 
history in Army schools. The AEAC shall be composed of 15 members. The 
membership will include: (a) fourteen individuals who are eminent 
authorities in the fields of defense, management, leadership, and 
academia, including those who are deemed to be historical scholars; and 
(b) the Chief Historian of the Army, U.S. Army, Center of Military 
History.
    Individual AEAC members are appointed according to DoD policy and 
procedures and serve a term of service of one-to-four years with annual 
renewals. One member will be appointed as Chair of the AEAC. No member, 
unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may serve more 
than two consecutive terms of service on the AEAC, or serve on more 
than two DoD Federal advisory committees at one time.
    AEAC members who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal 
civilian officers, employees, or active-duty members of the Uniformed 
Services will be appointed as experts or consultants, pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 3109, to serve as special government employee members. AEAC 
members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal civilian 
officers or employees, or active-duty members of the Uniformed 
Services, will be appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a), to serve 
as regular government employee members.
    All members of the AEAC are appointed to provide advice on the 
basis of their best judgment without representing any particular point 
of view and in a manner that is free from conflict of interest. Except 
for reimbursement of official AEAC-related travel and per diem, members 
serve without compensation.
    The public or interested organizations may submit written 
statements to the AEAC membership about the AEAC's mission and 
functions. Written statements may be submitted at any time or in 
response to the stated agenda of planned meeting of the AEAC. All
