The Task Force will assess the future strategic strike force skills needs of the Department of Defense (DoD). The mission of the DSB 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. Last summer the DSB assessed DoD needs for future strategic strike forces. Assessed was the application of technology for non-nuclear weapons systems, communications, planning systems, and intelligence as well as the integration of strategic strike with active defenses as part of the new triad. This ‘‘skills’’ study will complement the previous strategic forces study by focusing on the people and the skills necessary to develop, maintain, plan, and successfully execute future strategic strike forces. At this meeting, the Task Force will: Assess current skills available, both nuclear and non-nuclear of current long-range strike forces; identify, assess and recommend new/ modified/enhanced skill sets necessary for successful future strike force development, planning, and operations; and recommend a strategy for the successful evolution of the current skills to those required by future strike forces.

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?
