SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Department of Defense, the Reserve Forces Policy Board was unable to provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its June 5, 2024 meeting. Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day notification requirement.
This meeting is being held under the provisions of chapter 10 of title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.) (commonly known as the "Federal Advisory Committee Act" or "FACA"), 5 U.S.C. 552b (commonly known as the "Government in the Sunshine Act"), and title 41, Code of Federal Regulations, section 102-3.140 and section 102-3.155. Purpose of the Meeting: The purpose of the meeting is to obtain, review, and evaluate relevant information related to strategies, policies, and practices designed to improve and enhance the capabilities, efficiency, effectiveness, and accessibility of the Reserve Component (RC).
Agenda: The RFPB will hold an open meeting to the public from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. The RFPB will begin the meeting at 12:30 p.m. with opening remarks by Mr. Eric Flowers, the DFO and Major General John Hashem, United States Army, the RFPB's Military Executive and the RFPB Chairperson, the Honorable Lisa Disbrow. After the introductory remarks, the RFPB will receive briefings from two of its subcommittees, starting at 12:40 p.m. The Reserve Components' Role in Homeland Defense and Support to Civil Authorities subcommittee will provide a five-minute update on the previously approved subcommittee's draft report on RC support to Homeland Defense and building resilience of the Defense Critical Infrastructure. The Total Force Integration subcommittee will follow with a five-minute recap of the subcommittee's deliberation and actions during the morning session. After the subcommittee reports, at approximately 1:00 p.m., participants will participate in an hour-long panel discussion featuring Lieutenant General Jon Jensen, Director of the Army National Guard and Mr. Scott Fuller, Deputy Chief of the Navy Reserve. The two speakers will facilitate an interactive session that shares "lessons learned" and "potential way ahead" from a Reserve Component Chief's perspective. The session serves as a forum to identify opportunities and challenges tied to the RC's integrated efforts to execute the National Defense Strategy. After the panel discussion, participants will conduct a 15-minute break from 2:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. At approximately 2:15 p.m., Brigadier General Nathan D. Yates, United States Space Force, will present an hour-long information brief on the status of the United States Space Force's implementation of the single component concept approved in the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (Pub. L. 96-513). At the conclusion of the Space Force brief, at approximately 3:15 p.m. the Honorable Disbrow will offer closing remarks and adjourn the meeting at approximately 3:30 p.m.
