(Email). Mailing address is 2000 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C.,
app.), the Government in the Sunshine Act (``the Sunshine Act'') (5
U.S.C. 552b), and title 41 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), sections
102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Designated Federal
Officer, the Defense Policy Board was unable to provide public
notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its December
13-14, 2022 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. Purpose of the
Meeting: To obtain, review, and evaluate classified information related
to the DPB's mission to advise on (a) issues central to strategic DoD
planning; (b) policy implications of U.S. force structure and
modernization on DoD's ability to execute U.S. defense strategy; (c)
U.S. regional defense policies; and (d) other defense policy topics of
special interest to the DoD, as determined by the Secretary of Defense,
the Deputy Secretary of Defense, or the Under Secretary of Defense for
Policy.
Agenda: On December 13, 2022 and December 14, 2022, the DPB will
receive classified briefings and hold classified discussions on DoD's
current role, processes, capabilities, and organizational constructs
for planning and conducting information operations, military
information support operations, and psychological operations in an era
of expanding strategic competition including the application of
emerging technology and the continuing evolution of social media
platforms. The Secretary of Defense and the Undersecretary of Defense
for Policy will address the DPB. The DPB will receive classified
briefings on the following: (1) DoD Information Operations Doctrine and
Posture from Christopher P. Maier, Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict; (2) intelligence
briefings on the current information environment; and allies and
partners and the information environment, both with a question and
answer session; (3) the evolution of information operations and
psychological operations from LTG Braga, Commander, U.S. Army Special
Operations Command and BG Gil Ferguson, Deputy Commanding General for
Operations; (4) Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve
(CJTF-OIR) and Iraq's Counterterrorism Service from MG John Brennan,
Director of Operations, J-3, United States Special Operations Command
and former Commander CJTF-OIR (to be confirmed); (5) the United States
Cyber Command approach to force development and information effects
from Lt. Gen Timothy D. Haugh, Deputy Commander, U.S. Cyber Command (to
be confirmed); (6) information operations for perception management
case studies led by RDML Ronald A. Foy, Deputy Director for Global
Operations, Joint Staff; and (7) participate in an information
operations scenario-based discussion led by the Under Secretary of
Defense for Policy and RDML Ronald A. Foy. The DPB will also deliberate
and discuss their findings and recommendations of the previous DPB
meeting in September 2022 and then brief the Secretary of Defense on
the DPB's findings and recommendations from that meeting.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA
and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that this meeting shall be
closed to the public. The Under Secretary of Defense (Policy), in
consultation with the DoD FACA Attorney, has determined in writing that
this meeting be closed to the public because the discussions fall under
the purview of Section 552b(c)(1) of the Sunshine Act and are so
inextricably intertwined with unclassified material that they cannot
reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without disclosing
classified material.
Written Statements: In accordance with section 10(a)(3) of the FACA
and 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140(c), the public or interested
organizations may submit written statements to the membership of the
DPB at any time regarding its mission or in response to the stated
agenda of a planned meeting. Written statements should be submitted to
the DPB's DFO, which is listed in this notice or can be obtained from
the GSA's FACA Database--<a href="http://www.facadatabase.gov/">http://www.facadatabase.gov/</a>. Written
statements that do not pertain to a scheduled meeting of the DPB may be
submitted at any time. However, if individual comments pertain to a
specific topic being discussed at a planned meeting, then these
statements must be submitted no later than two business days prior to
the meeting in question. The DFO will review all submitted written
statements and provide copies to all members.
Dated: December 9, 2022.
