SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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''),
title 5, U.S.C., section 552b (commonly known as the ``Government in
the Sunshine Act''), and title 41, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
sections 102-3.140 and 102-3.155.
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the DFO, the RFPB was
unable to provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a)
concerning its December 4, 2024 meeting. Accordingly, the Advisory
Committee Management Officer for the DoD, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-
3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day notification requirement.
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, and
effectiveness of the Reserve Component (RC).
Agenda
The RFPB will hold a meeting which will be closed to the public
from 9:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. After opening comments by the RFPB's DFO,
Military Executive, and Chair, members will receive a classified
briefing on vulnerabilities and future capabilities of weapons systems,
installations, projects, plans, and Reserve Component protection
missions relating to national security. Lieutenant General (Lt. Gen.)
Dagvin Anderson, U.S. Air Force, the Director of Joint Force
Development for the Joint Staff, will present the classified briefing.
The closed session will end at approximately 12:00 p.m. and RFPB
members will take a one-hour lunch break. The open portion of the
meeting will commence at approximately 1:00 p.m. with opening
statements by the RFPB's DFO, Military Executive and Chair. The trio
will be followed with a presentation by the Senior Enlisted Advisor to
the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower & Reserve Affairs,
Sergeant Major (SGM) Stephen Minyard, U.S. Army Reserve (USAR). SGM
Minyard will provide his perspective on viable opportunities for
strengthening commonalities between the active and reserve components'
enlisted workforce. At approximately 2:00 p.m., the chiefs of the seven
Reserve Components, or their respective designees, will engage the RFPB
members in a roundtable discussion. Invited Reserve Component chiefs
include Lieutenant General (LTG) Robert Harter, USAR, Chief, Army
Reserve; Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore, U.S. Navy Reserve, Chief, Navy
Reserve; Lt. Gen. John Healy, U.S. Air Force Reserve, Chief, Air Force
Reserve; Lieutenant General Loni Anderson, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve,
Commander, Marine Corps Forces Reserve; LTG Jonathan Stubbs, U.S. Army
National Guard, Director, Army National Guard; Major General Duke
Pirak, Air National Guard, Director, Air National Guard Director
(nominee), and; Rear Admiral Tiffany Danko, Director Coast Guard
Reserve. The roundtable discussion will focus on the chiefs'
priorities, current readiness and mobilization challenges and their
respective approaches for preparing their forces for protracted
conflict. The roundtable will entail two forty-five-minute sessions
with one fifteen-minute break between each session. At the conclusion
of the final session, at approximately 3:45, the RFPB Chair will
provide closing comments and then adjourn the meeting.
Meeting Accessibility
In accordance with section 1009(d) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102-
3.155, the DoD has determined that between 9:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. the
meeting will be closed to the public. Specifically, the USD (P&R), in
coordination with the DoD FACA Attorney, has determined in writing that
this portion of the meeting will be closed to the public because it is
likely to disclose classified matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1).
Such classified material is so intertwined with the unclassified
material that it cannot reasonably be segregated into
[[Page 93282]]
separate discussions without defeating the effectiveness and meaning of
these portions of the meeting.
Pursuant to section 1009(a)(1) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and
102-3.150, the portions of the meeting from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. are
open to the public. Members of the public may access the Pentagon
Library and Conference Center (PLCC) via the east end of the Pentagon's
River Terrace entrance off North Boundary Channel Drive on the
northeast side of the Pentagon. Photo identification is required to
gain access to the PLCC. Attendees must inform the access control point
personnel that their destination is the PLCC to attend the RFPB
Quarterly RFPB meeting. For additional meeting access information,
contact the DFO as listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
Written Statements
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140(c), and section
1009(a)(3) of the FACA, the public and interested parties may submit
written statements to the RFPB at any time about its approved agenda or
at any time on the RFPB's mission. Written statements should be
submitted to the RFPB's DFO at the address or email listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. If statements pertain to a
specific topic being discussed at the meeting that is the subject of
this notice, then these statements must be submitted no later than one
(1) business day prior to the scheduled meeting date. Written
statements received after this date may not be provided to or
considered by the RFPB until its next scheduled meeting. The DFO will
review all timely submitted written statements and provide copies to
the RFPB before the meeting that is the subject of this notice. Please
note that all submitted comments will be made available for public
inspection, including, but not limited to, being posted on the RFPB's
website.
