SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to difficulties beyond the control of

Reserve Forces Policy Board was unable to provide public notification 
required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning the meeting on December 12, 
2018, of the Reserve Forces Policy Board. Accordingly, the Advisory 
Committee Management Officer for the DoD, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-
3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day notification requirement.
    This meeting is being held under the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C., Appendix), the Government in 
the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
    Purpose of the Meeting: The purpose of the meeting is to obtain,

practices designed to improve and enhance the capabilities, efficiency, 
and effectiveness of the Reserve Components.
    Agenda: The RFPB will hold a meeting from 8:55 a.m. to 3:50 p.m. 
The portion of the meeting from 8:55 a.m. to 1:20 p.m. will be closed 
to the public and will consist of remarks to the RFPB from the 
following invited speakers: The Commander, U.S. Cyber Command will 
discuss the Cyber Command's Cyber Strategy which implements the 
National Defense Strategy priorities in and through cyberspace with the 
goal of protecting the Nation's critical infrastructure and defending 
the Department of Defense network infrastructure while integrating the 
Reserve Components as a Total Force; the Secretary of Defense will 
address key National Military Strategy challenges facing our Nation, 
priorities for adapting the force, and the use of the Reserve 
Components to overcome these challenges; The Adjutant General, 
California will discuss the recent California National Guard's Homeland 
Security and National Security Strategy operations issues with cyber 
security, immigration operations and the current California National 
Guard Ukrainian mission; and the Deputy Director for Global Integration 
and Current Operations, Integrated Operations Division, Joint Staff 
will discuss how the concept of Dynamic Force Employment from National 
Defense Strategy requires the Reserve Components to be ready to deploy 
without major buildup of forces and additional training time. The 
portion of the meeting from 1:35 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. will be open to the 
public and will consist of briefings from the following: Col Forrest 
Marion, USAFR (Ret) and Col John Hoffman, USMCR (Ret) will brief their 
published book: ``Forging a Total Force--Evolution of the Guard and 
Reserve'' in which they analyzed how the Nation's military drawdowns 
have historically caused the Nation to depend on its Guard and Reserve, 
detailing the issues policymakers are facing as they forge ahead with 
citizen-soldiers serving as an operational force; the Deputy Director, 
Materiel (Resource Evaluation) will discuss how the current fielding of 
equipment to the Reserve Components creates interoperability issues and 
requires Reserve Components to operate new equipment for the first time 
while deploying in theatre of operations; and the Chairman of the RFPB 
will discuss recommended priorities for the RFPB as they pertain to the 
Secretary of Defense's National Military Strategy and the anticipated 
implications these priorities may have on Active/Reserve Component 
force structure, readiness, and utilization.
