instructional methods, and other aspects of the organization and 
management of these programs. The AEAC will also provide independent

Program and the role and mission of the U.S. Army Center of Military 
History, particularly as they pertain to the study and use of military 
history in Army schools. The AEAC shall be composed of no more than 15

annual renewals. One member will be appointed as Chair of the AEAC. No 
member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may
