The Board is a non-discretionary

Section 956 of Public Law 110–181 

(National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2008) amended the Board’s 

membership provisions of 10 U.S.C. 

2166(e)(1) to include the commanders of 

the combatant commands having 

geographic responsibility for the 

Western Hemisphere. All other 

provisions of 10 U.S.C. 2166(e) 

remained unchanged. 

Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2166(e), the 

Board shall: 

1. Inquire into the curriculum

affairs, and academic methods of the 

Institute, other matters relating to the 

Institute that the Board decides to 

consider, and any other matter that the 

Secretary of Defense determines 

appropriate; 

2. Review the curriculum to 

determine whether it adheres to U.S. 

doctrine, complies with applicable U.S. 

laws and regulations, and is consistent 

with U.S. policy goals towards the 

Western Hemisphere; and 

3. Determine whether the Institute 

emphasizes human rights to include the 

rule of law, due process, civilian control 

of the military, and the role of the 

military in a democratic society. 

Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2166(e)(1), the 

Board shall be composed of thirteen 

members: 

1. Two members of the Senate (the 

Chair and Ranking Member of the 

Armed Services Committee or their 

designees); 

2. Two Members of the House of 

Representatives (the Chair and Ranking 

Member of the Armed Services 

Committee or their designees); 

3. One person designated by the 

Secretary of State; the senior military 

officer responsible for training and 

education in the U.S. Army (or 

designee); the commanders of the 

combatant commands having 

geographic responsibility for the 

Western Hemisphere (or designee); and 

4. Six persons designated by the 

Secretary of Defense including, to the 

extent practicable, persons from 

academia, religious institutions, and 

human rights communities. 

Board Members appointed by the 

Secretary of Defense, who are not 

federal officers or employees, shall serve 

as Special Government Employees 

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

Board Members shall be appointed for a 

two-year term, and may be extended for 

an additional term of two years. With 

the exception of travel and per diem for 

official travel, they shall serve without 

compensation. 

The Board shall be authorized to 

establish subcommittees, as necessary 

and consistent with its mission, and 

these subcommittees or working groups 

shall operate under the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act of 

1972, the Sunshine in the Government 

Act of 1976, and other appropriate 

federal 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. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board 

shall meet at the call of the Board’s 

Designated Federal Officer, in 

consultation with the Board’s 

chairperson. The Designated Federal 

Officer, pursuant to DoD policy, shall be 

a full-time or permanent part-time DoD 

employee, and shall be appointed in 

accordance with established DoD 

policies and procedures. The Designated 

Federal Officer or duly appointed 

Alternate Designated Federal Officer 

shall attend all committee meetings and 

subcommittee meetings. 

Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and
