    1. Air and Missile Defense Electronic Warfare (EW) Assessment--This 
is a classified study that will assist the Army by conducting a 
comprehensive assessment of the EW posture of the Army's Air and 
Missile Defense systems and their ability to operate in an advanced EW 
environment. This study will be reviewed in the closed portion of the 
meeting. This portion of the meeting is properly closed in accordance

Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign 
policy and (B) in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive 
Order.''
    2. Decisive Army Strategic and Expeditionary Maneuver--This study 
will identify challenges in 2025 that effect the Army's ability to 
conduct strategic and expeditionary maneuver; explore options in joint 
air- and sea-basing, commercial capabilities and partnering 
opportunities to improve the Army's ability to maneuver; and identify 
technologies and other innovations that could improve the Army's 
strategic and expeditionary maneuver capabilities. This study will be 
reviewed in the open portion of the meeting.
    3. Talent Management and the Next Training Revolution--This study 
will develop a concept of talent management that the Army should use to 
describe individuals and teams through 2030; examine current 
technologies and trends employed in talent management, to include 
recruiting, training, and retention; and develop a roadmap for the 
employment of promising talent management systems, associated 
technologies, and best practices, taking into consideration the unique 
nature of military service. This study will be reviewed in the open 
portion of the meeting.
