1. Air and Missile Defense Electronic Warfare (EW) Assessment--This
is a classified study that will assist the Army by conducting a
comprehensive assessment of the EW posture of the Army's Air and
Missile Defense systems and their ability to operate in an advanced EW
environment. This study will be reviewed in the closed portion of the
meeting. This portion of the meeting is properly closed in accordance

Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign
policy and (B) in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive
Order.''
2. Decisive Army Strategic and Expeditionary Maneuver--This study
will identify challenges in 2025 that effect the Army's ability to
conduct strategic and expeditionary maneuver; explore options in joint
air- and sea-basing, commercial capabilities and partnering
opportunities to improve the Army's ability to maneuver; and identify
technologies and other innovations that could improve the Army's
strategic and expeditionary maneuver capabilities. This study will be
reviewed in the open portion of the meeting.
3. Talent Management and the Next Training Revolution--This study
will develop a concept of talent management that the Army should use to
describe individuals and teams through 2030; examine current
technologies and trends employed in talent management, to include
recruiting, training, and retention; and develop a roadmap for the
employment of promising talent management systems, associated
technologies, and best practices, taking into consideration the unique
nature of military service. This study will be reviewed in the open
portion of the meeting.
