Office of the Secretary

of Defense, Department of Defense 

(DoD).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

meeting is being held under the 

provisions of chapter 10 of title 5, 

United States Code (U.S.C.) (commonly 

known as the ‘‘Federal Advisory 

Committee Act’’ or ‘‘FACA’’), 5 U.S.C. 

552b (commonly known as the 

‘‘Government in the Sunshine Act’’), 

and 41 CFR 102–3.140 and 102–3.150. 

Due to circumstances beyond the 

control of the Department of Defense 

and the Designated Federal Officer, the 

Defense Business Board was unable to 

provide public notification required by 

41 CFR 102–3.150(a) concerning its 

August 2–3, 2023 meeting. Accordingly, 

the Advisory Committee Management 

Officer for the Department of Defense, 

pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150(b), 

waives the 15-calendar day notification 

requirement. 

Purpose of the Meeting: The mission 

of the Board is to examine and advise 

the Secretary of Defense on overall DoD 

management and governance. The Board 

provides independent, strategic-level, 

private sector and academic advice and 

counsel on enterprise-wide business 

management approaches and best 

practices for business operations and 

achieving National Defense goals. 

Agenda: The Board will hold a closed 

meeting on August 2 and August 3. The 

DFO will open the closed meeting 

followed by a welcome by Board Chair, 

Hon. Deborah James. The Board will 

receive classified discussions on Space 

Force Modernization and Joint Force 

Integration from General David D. 

Thompson, Vice Chief of Space 

Operations; Assessing Innovation 

Through the NDAA from Hon. Kathleen 

Hicks, Deputy Secretary of Defense; DoD 

Current Affairs from Hon. Lloyd Austin, 

Secretary of Defense; and Artificial 

Intelligence/Machine Learning 

Scaffolding from Mr. Joe Larson, Deputy 

Director of the Chief Digital and 

Artificial Intelligence Office for 

Algorithmic Warfare. After a break, the 

board will receive a classified update on 

the Globally Integrated Wargame and 

Recommendations from Lt Gen Dagvin 

R.M. Anderson (USAF), Director for 

Joint Force Development; a classified 

discussion on Joint Force Capabilities 

Integration from ADM Michael Gilday, 

Chief of Naval Operations; and the State 

of the National Guard from GEN Daniel 

R. Hokanson, Chief of the National 

Guard Bureau. The Board will take a 

short break, then receive remarks by 

Board Chair, Hon Deborah James and 

Deputy Secretary, Hon. Kathleen Hicks. 

Next, the board will hear a classified 

update on the DBB Improving IT User 

Experience Study from Hon. John 

Sherman, Department of Defense Chief 

Information Officer. The DFO will 

adjourn the closed meeting. The Board 

will begin in closed meeting on August 

3 at The White House. The DFO will 

open the closed meeting followed by the 

Chair’s welcome. Next the board will 

have a classified discussion on the U.S. 

Economic Outlook and Recent NATO 

Summit from Mr. Jeff Zients, White 

House Chief of Staff, and Mr. Jake 

Sullivan, National Security Advisor. 

The DFO will then adjourn the closed 

meeting. 

The latest version of the agenda will 

be available on the Board’s website at: 

https://dbb.dod.afpims.mil/Meetings/ 

Meeting-Aug-2023/. 

Meeting Accessibility: In accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41 CFR 102– 

3.155, it is hereby determined that the 

August 2–3 meeting of the Board will 

include classified information and other 

matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) 

and that, accordingly, the meeting will 

be closed to the public. This 

determination is based on the 

consideration that it is expected that 

discussions throughout these periods 

will involve classified matters of 

national security. Such classified 

material is so intertwined with the 

unclassified material that it cannot 

reasonably be segregated into separate 

discussions without defeating the 

effectiveness and meaning of these 

portions of the meeting. To permit these 

portions of the meeting to be open to the 

public would preclude discussion of 

such matters and would greatly 

diminish the ultimate utility of the 

Board’s findings and recommendations 

to the Secretary of Defense and to the 

Deputy Secretary of Defense. 

Written Comments and Statements: 

Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 

102–3.140 and 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) of the 

FACA, the public or interested 

organizations may submit written 

comments or statements to the Board in 

response to the stated agenda of the 

meeting or regarding the Board’s 

mission in general. Written comments 

or statements should be submitted to 

Ms. Jennifer Hill, the DFO, via 

electronic mail (the preferred mode of 

submission) at the address listed in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section. Each page of the comment or 

statement must include the author’s 

name, title or affiliation, address, and 

daytime phone number. The DFO must 

receive written comments or statements 

submitted in response to the agenda set 

forth in this notice by Monday, July 31, 

2023, to be considered by the Board. 

The DFO will review all timely 

submitted written comments or 

statements with the Board Chair and 

ensure the comments are provided to all 

members of the Board before the 

meeting. Written comments or 

statements received after this date may 

not be provided to the Board until its 

next scheduled meeting. Please note 

that all submitted comments and 

statements will be treated as public 

documents and will be made available 

for public inspection, including, but not 

limited to, being posted on the Board’s 

website.
