SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on Training for 
Future Conflicts will meet in closed session on February 28, 2001, at 
SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22201. This Task Force will 
focus on identifying and characterizing what education and training are 
demanded by Joint Vision 2010/2020, and will address the development 
and demonstration time phasing over the next two decades for the 
combined triad of technology modernization, operational concepts, and 
training.
    The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary 
of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology & Logistics on scientific and technical matters as they 
affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At these 
meetings, the Defense Science Board Task Force will also identify those 
approaches and techniques that potential enemies might take that could 
prepare them to revolutionize their warfare capabilities, thereby 
achieving a training surprise against the U.S. or its allies. This 
review will include, but not be limited to, unique training/education 
developments which might be spawned by allies or an adversary, training 
techniques and methodologies which might be transferred from the U.S. 
or

through third parties, and finally, the possibilities emerging as a 
result of the globalization of military and information technologies, 
related commercial services and their application by other nations.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. L. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined that this Defense Science Board meeting, concerns matters 
listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), and that accordingly this meeting will 
be closed to the public.
    Due to critical mission requirements and scheduling conflicts, 
there is insufficient time to provide timely notice required by section 
10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act and subsection 101-
6.1015(b) of the GSA Final Rule on Federal Advisory Committee 
Management, 41 CFR part 101-6, which further requires publication at 
least 15 calendar days prior to the meeting of the Task Force.
