The Panel members will be appointed
by the Secretary of Defense or the
Deputy Secretary of Defense for a term
of service of one-to-four years and their
appointments will be renewed on an
annual basis in accordance with DoD
policies and procedures. Members of the
Panel who are not full-time or
permanent part-time Federal employees
will be appointed as experts and
consultants under the authority of 5
U.S.C. 3109 to serve as special
government employee (SGE) members.
Panel members who are full-time or
permanent part-time Federal employees
will serve as regular government
employee members. All members of the
Panel are appointed to provide advice
on behalf of the Government 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.
Panel members, if appointed by the
Secretary of Defense or the Deputy
Secretary of Defense as SGE members,
will serve without compensation.
However, Panel members will be
reimbursed for travel and per diem as it
pertains to official business of the Panel.
No member, unless authorized by the
Secretary of Defense, may serve more
than two consecutive terms of service
on the Panel, to include its
subcommittees, or serve on two DoD
federal advisory committees at one time.
The Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Secretary of the
Navy, shall appoint the Panel’s
chairperson from the total membership.
The Secretary of the Navy, pursuant
to DoD policies and procedures, may
appoint, as deemed necessary, nonvoting subject matter experts (SMEs) to
assist the Panel or its subcommittees on
an ad hoc basis. These non-voting SMEs
are not members of the Panel or its
subcommittees, and will not engage or
participate in any deliberations by the
Panel or its subcommittees. These nonvoting SMEs, if not full-time or parttime Government employees, will be
appointed under the authority of 5
U.S.C. 3109 on an intermittent basis to
address specific issues under
consideration by the Panel.
DoD, as necessary and consistent with
the Panel’s mission and DoD policies
and procedures, may establish
subcommittees, task forces, or working
groups to support the Panel.
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 Secretary of
the Navy, as the DoD Sponsor.
Such subcommittees shall not work
independently of the chartered Panel,

and shall report all their
recommendations and advice solely to
the Panel for full deliberation and

make decisions and recommendations,
verbally or in writing, on behalf of the
chartered Panel. No subcommittee or
any of its members can update or report,
verbally or in writing, directly to the
DoD or any Federal officers or
employees.
All subcommittee members shall be
appointed in the same manner as the
Panel members; that is, the Secretary of
Defense or the Deputy Secretary of
Defense shall appoint subcommittee
members even if the member in
question is already a member of the
Panel. Subcommittee members, with the
approval of the Secretary of Defense,
may serve a term of one-to-four years;
however, no member shall serve more
than two consecutive terms of service
on the subcommittee.
Subcommittee members, if not fulltime or part-time Federal employees,
will be appointed as experts and
consultants under the authority of 5
U.S.C. 3109 to serve as SGE members,
whose appointments must be renewed
on an annual basis. With the exception
of reimbursement for travel and per
diem as it pertains to official travel
related to the Panel or its
subcommittees, Panel subcommittee
members shall serve without
compensation.
Each subcommittee 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.
All subcommittees operate under the
provisions of the FACA, the Sunshine
Act, governing Federal statutes and
regulations, and established DoD
policies and procedures.
Currently, DoD has approved the
following two permanent
subcommittees to the Panel:
(a) The Naval Research Advisory
Committee shall be composed of not
more than seven members and shall

The DFO, or the Alternate DFO, will

meeting scheduled for December 17,
2013 is the fifth in a series of five
meetings held for the Commissioners to
consider information and data from a
variety of sources that will be presented
and aggregated by employing several
data, analytic and decision support tools
that contain classified information.
Three prior closed meetings were held
in November 2013 and the fourth was
held on December 10, 2013. The five
meetings were approved with similar
agendas. The December 17, 2013 is
being held to finalize and write
recommendations.
Agenda: The agenda items for both
meetings are:
—The role of airpower in the postAfghanistan national security
situations likely to be encountered by
the Air Force capabilities and Airmen
and the implications for the structure
of the Air Force. This discussion will
be organized into three categories.
The ‘‘Away Game,’’ will involve
emerging demands on Air Force
capabilities such as: Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance,
Remotely Piloted Aircraft, Space,
Cyber, Special Operations, and
Building Partnership Capacity.
Commissioners will also explore the
implications of rising demands and
expectations for the ‘‘Home Game’’ in
missions such as Homeland Defense,
Homeland Security, and Defense
Support to Civil Agencies. This will
include implications for the structure
of the Air Force from the growing
threat of the ‘‘Away Game’’ involving
simultaneous attacks on the
Homeland. The third area of
discussion will be on the continuing
growth of demand on traditional Air
Force core functions including: Air
Superiority, Air Mobility, Global
Precision Attack, Nuclear Deterrence
Operations, Command and Control,
Personnel Recovery, Agile Combat
Support, Training and Education, and
other specific mission sets such as
security forces, civil engineering and
science and technology.
—Projections and assumptions about
future resource levels that will be
available to organize, train and equip
the Air Force. This will include
assumptions about how the Budget
Control Act and Sequestration
legislation will affect Total
Obligational Authority and associated
planning, programming and budgeting
flexibility. Commissioners will also
consider the impact of strategic
choices on Air Force capabilities and
force structure options derived from
the selection of national priorities
among modernization, technology,
