The Board is a statutory Federal
advisory committee that assists the
Secretary of Defense in an advisory
capacity in carrying out the Secretary’s
responsibility to conduct the business of
the Uniformed Services University of
the Health Sciences (‘‘the University’’).
The Board shall provide advice and
recommendations on academic and
administrative matters critical to the full
accreditation and successful operation
of the University.
The DoD, through the Office of the
USD(P&R), provides support for the
performance of the Board’s functions
and ensures compliance with the
requirements of the FACA, the
Government in the Sunshine Act of
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended) (‘‘the
Sunshine Act’’), governing Federal
statutes and regulations, and established
DoD policies and procedures.
Under the provisions of 10 U.S.C.
2113a(b), the Board shall be composed
of 15 members, appointed or designated
as follows:
a. Nine persons outstanding in the
field of health care, higher education
administration, or public policy, who
shall be appointed from civilian life by
the Secretary of Defense;
b. The Secretary of Defense, or his
designee, who shall be an ex-officio
member;
c. The Surgeons General of the
Uniformed Services, who shall be exofficio members; and
d. The President of the University,
who shall be a non-voting, ex-officio
member. As directed by 10 U.S.C.
2113a(c), the term of office for each
member of the Board (other than exofficio members) shall be six years
except that:
a. Any member appointed to fill a
vacancy occurring before the expiration
of the term for which his predecessor
was appointed shall be appointed for
the remainder of such term; and,
b. Any member whose term of office
has expired shall continue to serve until
his successor is appointed.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C.
2113a(d), one of the members of the
Board (other than an ex-officio member)
shall be designated as Chair by the
Secretary of Defense and shall be
presiding officer of the Board.
Board members that are not ex-officio
members shall be appointed by the
Secretary of Defense and their
appointments will be renewed on an
annual basis according to DoD policies
and procedures.
Those members appointed by the
Secretary of Defense from civilian life
provide their best judgment on the
matters before the Board, based upon
each individual’s professional

experience. Board members who are not
full-time or permanent part-time Federal
officers or employees will be appointed
as experts or consultants pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 3109 to serve as special
government employee (SGE) members.
Board members who are full-time or
permanent part-time Federal officers or
employees will serve as regular
government employee (RGE) members
pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.130(a). No
member may serve more than two
consecutive terms of service without
Secretary of Defense or Deputy
Secretary of Defense approval.
Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2113a(e), Board
members (other than ex-officio
members), while attending conferences
or meetings or while otherwise
performing their duties as members,
shall be entitled to receive
compensation at a rate to be fixed by the
Secretary of Defense. Each member is
reimbursed for travel and per diem as it
pertains to official business of the
Board.
DoD, when necessary and consistent
with the Board’s mission and DoD
policies and procedures, may establish
subcommittees, task forces, or working
groups 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 USD(P&R),
as the Board’s Sponsor.
Such subcommittees will not work
independently of the Board and will
report all of their recommendations and
advice solely to the Board for full and
open deliberation and discussion.
Subcommittees, task forces, or working
groups have no authority to make
decisions and recommendations,
verbally or in writing, on behalf of the
Board. No subcommittee or any of its
members can update or report, verbally
or in writing, on behalf of the Board,
directly to the DoD or any Federal
officers or employees. Each member,
based upon his or her individual
professional experience, provides his or
her best judgment on the matters before
the Board, and he or she does so in a
manner that is free from conflict of
interest. All subcommittee members
will be appointed by the Secretary of
Defense or the Deputy Secretary of
Defense to a term of service of one-tofour years, with annual renewals, even
if the individual is already a member of
the Board. Subcommittee members will
not serve more than two consecutive
terms of service, unless authorized by
the Secretary of Defense or the Deputy
Secretary of Defense.

officers or employees will be appointed
as an expert or consultant pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 3109, to serve as a SGE
member. Subcommittee members who
are full-time or permanent part-time
Federal officers or employees will be
appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102–
3.130(a), to serve as a RGE member.
With the exception of reimbursement of
official travel and per diem related to
the Board or its subcommittees,
subcommittee members will serve
without compensation.
All subcommittees operate under the
provisions of FACA, the Sunshine Act,
governing Federal statutes and
regulations, and established DoD
policies and procedures.
The Board’s Designated Federal
Officer (DFO) must be a full-time or
permanent part-time DoD officer or
employee, designated in accordance
with established DoD policies and
procedures. The Board’s DFO is
required to be in attendance at all
meetings of the Board and any
subcommittees for the entire duration of
each and every meeting. However, in
the absence of the Board’s DFO, a
properly approved Alternate DFO duly
designated to the Board according to
established DoD policies and
procedures, must attend the entire
duration of all meetings of the Board
and any subcommittees.
The DFO, or the Alternate DFO, calls
all meetings of the Board and its
subcommittees; prepares and approves
all meeting agendas; and adjourns any
meeting when the DFO, or the Alternate
DFO, determines adjournment to be in
the public interest or required by
governing regulations or DoD policies
and procedures.
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and
102–3.140, the public or interested
organizations may submit written
statements to Board membership about
the Board’s mission and functions.
Written statements may be submitted at
any time or in response to the stated
agenda of planned meeting of the Board.
All written statements shall be
submitted to the DFO for the Board, and
this individual will ensure that the
written statements are provided to the
membership for their consideration.
Contact information for the Board’s DFO
can be obtained from the GSA’s FACA
Database—https://
www.facadatabase.gov/.
The DFO, pursuant to 41 CFR 102–
3.150, will announce planned meetings
of the Board. The DFO, at that time, may
provide additional guidance on the
submission of written statements that
are in response to the stated agenda for
the planned meeting in question.
