of interest to the National Defense
University.
The Board shall report to the
Secretary of Defense through the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
the President of the National Defense
University. The Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff may act upon the Board’s
advice and recommendations.
The Board shall be comprised of no
more than twenty members, who are
eminent authorities in the field of

the Department of Defense Chief

The Board Membership shall select

membership, and these individuals
shall serve at the discretion of the
Secretary of Defense, through the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff may invite other distinguished
Government officers to serve as nonvoting observers of the Board, and
appoint consultants, with special
expertise, to assist the Board on an ad

The Department, when necessary, and
consistent with the Board’s mission and
DoD policies and procedures may,
establish subcommittees, task groups, or
working groups deemed necessary to
support the Board. Establishment of

the Deputy Secretary of Defense, or the
advisory committee’s sponsor.
These subcommittees shall not work
independently of the chartered Board,
and shall report all of 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
subcommittees or any of its members
update or report directly to the
Department of Defense or any Federal
officers or employees.
Such 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 one to four years;
however, no member shall serve more
than two consecutive terms of service
on the subcommittee. Subcommittee
members, if not full-time or permanent

members shall serve without
compensation.

552b), governing Federal statutes and
regulations, and governing DoD
policies/procedures.
