The Secretary of Defense may approve 

the appointment of Board members for 

three year terms of service; however, no 

member, unless authorized by the 

Secretary of Defense, may serve more 

than two consecutive terms of service. 

This same term of service limitation also 

applies to any DoD authorized 

subcommittees. 

Appointments normally will be 

staggered among the Board membership 

to ensure balance and an orderly 

turnover of the Board’s overall 

composition on a periodic basis. The 

Secretary of the Army shall designate 

the Board’s Chairperson and Vice 

Chairperson from the total Board 

membership. 

With the exception of travel and per 

diem for official Board related travel, 

Board members shall serve without 

compensation. The Secretary of the 

Army may authorize compensation for 

Board members when the circumstances 

warrant. 

The Secretary of the Army, pursuant 

to DoD policies and procedures, may 

appoint, as deemed necessary, nonvoting consultants to provide special 

expertise to the Board. However, no 

more than 41 experts and consultants 

may be appointed to advise the Board. 

These experts and consultants, if not 

full-time or part-time government 

employees, shall be appointed under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, shall serve as 

special government employees, shall be 

appointed on an intermittent basis to 

work specific Board-related efforts, shall 

have no voting rights whatsoever on the 

Board or any of its subcommittees, and 

shall not count toward the Board’s total 

membership. Six of the 41 experts and 

consultants shall be designated ‘‘Senior 

Army Science Board Fellows’’ and shall 

be former Board members. All 41 

experts and consultants shall serve 

terms of appointments as determined by 

the Secretary of the Army, and those 

appointments shall be renewed as 

appropriate. 

Each Board 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. 

The Department, when necessary, and 

consistent with the Board’s mission and 

DoD policies and procedures, may 

establish subcommittees deemed 

necessary 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 advisory 

committee’s sponsor. Such 

subcommittees shall not work 

independently of the chartered Board, 

and shall report all 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 

subcommittee or its members update or 

report directly to the Department of 

Defense or any Federal officers or 

employees. 

All 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 three years; however, 

no member shall serve more than two 

consecutive terms of service on the 

subcommittee. 

Subcommittee members, if not fulltime or part-time government 

employees, shall be appointed to serve 

as experts and consultants under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, and shall 

serve as special government employees, 

whose appointments must be renewed 

by the Secretary of Defense on an 

annual basis. With the exception of 

travel and per diem for official Board 

related travel, subcommittee members 

shall serve without compensation. The 

Secretary of the Army may authorize 

compensation for Board members when 

the circumstances warrant. All 

subcommittees operate under the 

provisions of FACA, the Government in 

the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 

552b), governing Federal statutes and 

regulations, and governing DoD 

policies/procedures.
