FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board 

is a discretionary Federal advisory 

committee that shall provide 

independent advice and 

recommendations on matters relating to 

the Army’s scientific, technical, 

manufacturing, acquisition, logistics, 

and business management functions, 

and other Department of the Army 

related matters as determined by the 

Secretary of the Army. 

The Board shall provide independent 

advice and recommendations to the 

Secretary of Defense; the Secretary of 

the Army; the Under Secretary of the 

Army and Department of the Army 

Chief Management Officer; the Assistant 

Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, 

Logistics and Technology; and as 

requested, other Army organizations as 

determined by the Office of the 

Secretary of the Army. 

The Board is not established to advice 

on individual DoD or Department of the 

Army procurements, but instead shall 

be concerned with the pressing and 

complex technology and business 

management issues facing the 

Department of the Army in the areas 

referenced above. 

No matter shall be assigned to the 

Board for its consideration that would 

require any Board member to participate 

personally and substantially in the 

conduct of any specific procurement or 

place him or her in the position of 

acting as a contraction or procurement 

official. 

The Board shall be composed of not 

more than 80 members who are eminent 

authorities in one or more of the 

following disciplines: Science, 

technology, manufacturing, acquisition, 

logistics, business management 

functions, and other matters of special 

interest to the Department of the Army. 

Board members shall be appointed by 

the Secretary of Defense, and their 

appointments will be renewed on an 

annual basis. Those members, who are 

not full-time or permanent part-time 

federal officers or employees, shall be 

appointed as experts and consultants 

under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, 

and shall serve as special government 

employees. 

Generally, Board members will be 

approved by the appointing authority to 

serve on the Board for a term of three 

years with annual reappointments. 

Board members may be approved by the 

appointing authority to serve on the 

Board for an additional term with 

annual reappointments. 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. Unless otherwise extended 

by the Secretary of Defense, in 

consultation with the Secretary of the 

Army, the Board’s Chairperson and Vice 

Chairperson shall serve two-year term 

limits. 

With the exception of travel and per 

diem for official 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. 

With DoD approval, the Board is 

authorized to establish subcommittees, 

as necessary and consistent with its 

mission. These subcommittees or 

working groups shall operate under the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act of 1972, the Government 

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

552b), and other appropriate Federal 

statutes and regulations. 

Such subcommittees or workgroups 

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 or 

workgroups have no authority to make 

decisions on behalf of the chartered 

Board; nor can they report directly to 

the Department of Defense or any 

Federal officers or employees who are 

not Board members. 

Subcommittee members, who are not 

Board members, shall be appointed in 

the same manner as the Board members. 

The Board shall meet at the call of the 

Board’s Designated Federal Officer, in 

consultation with the Chairperson. The 

estimated number of Board meetings is 

four per year.

employee, and shall be appointed in 

accordance with established DoD
