The Defense Science Board Task Force on Logistics Transformation Phase II was held in closed session on November 15-16, 2000, at SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Suite 500, Arlington, VA 22203.

The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology on scientific and technical matters as they affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At this meeting, the Task Force will review and evaluate DoD's progress on the transformation of the DoD logistics system. In addition, the Task Force will review future plans and programs to determine their compliance with the recommendations contained in the 1998 DSB report on DoD Logistics Transformation; determine the nature of barriers inhibiting the rapid transformation of the system, paying particular attention to technical, legal, and operational issues; and determining if any future implementation actions are required.
