The Secretary of Defense may approve
the appointment of Board members for
three year terms of service; however, no
member, unless authorized by the
Secretary of Defense, may serve more
than two consecutive terms of service.
This same term of service limitation also
applies to any DoD authorized
subcommittees.
Appointments normally will be
staggered among the Board membership
to ensure balance and an orderly
turnover of the Board’s overall
composition on a periodic basis. The
Secretary of the Army shall designate
the Board’s Chairperson and Vice
Chairperson from the total Board
membership.
With the exception of travel and per
diem for official Board related travel,
Board members shall serve without
compensation. The Secretary of the
Army may authorize compensation for
Board members when the circumstances
warrant.
The Secretary of the Army, pursuant
to DoD policies and procedures, may
appoint, as deemed necessary, nonvoting consultants to provide special
expertise to the Board. However, no
more than 41 experts and consultants
may be appointed to advise the Board.
These experts and consultants, if not
full-time or part-time government
employees, shall be appointed under the
authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, shall serve as
special government employees, shall be
appointed on an intermittent basis to
work specific Board-related efforts, shall
have no voting rights whatsoever on the
Board or any of its subcommittees, and
shall not count toward the Board’s total
membership. Six of the 41 experts and
consultants shall be designated ‘‘Senior
Army Science Board Fellows’’ and shall
be former Board members. All 41
experts and consultants shall serve
terms of appointments as determined by
the Secretary of the Army, and those
appointments shall be renewed as
appropriate.
Each Board member is appointed to
provide advice on behalf of the
government on the basis of his or her
best judgment without representing any
particular point of view and in a manner
that is free from conflict of interest.
The Department, when necessary, and
consistent with the Board’s mission and
DoD policies and procedures, may
establish subcommittees deemed
necessary to support the Board.
Establishment of subcommittees will be
based upon a written determination, to
include terms of reference, by the
Secretary of Defense, the Deputy
Secretary of Defense, or the advisory
committee’s sponsor. Such
subcommittees shall not work

independently of the chartered Board,
and shall report all their
recommendations and advice to the
Board for full deliberation and
discussion.
Subcommittees have no authority to
make decisions on behalf of the
chartered Board; nor can any
subcommittee or its members update or
report directly to the Department of
Defense or any Federal officers or
employees.
All subcommittee members shall be
appointed in the same manner as the
Board members; that is, the Secretary of
Defense shall appoint subcommittee
members even if the member in
question is already a Board member.
Subcommittee members, with the
approval of the Secretary of Defense,
may serve a term of service on the
subcommittee of three years; however,
no member shall serve more than two
consecutive terms of service on the
subcommittee.
Subcommittee members, if not fulltime or part-time government
employees, shall be appointed to serve
as experts and consultants under the
authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, and shall
serve as special government employees,
whose appointments must be renewed
by the Secretary of Defense on an
annual basis. With the exception of
travel and per diem for official Board
related travel, subcommittee members
shall serve without compensation. The
Secretary of the Army may authorize
compensation for Board members when
the circumstances warrant. All
subcommittees operate under the
provisions of FACA, the Government in
the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C.
552b), governing Federal statutes and
regulations, and governing DoD
policies/procedures.
