Renewal of the Special Operations Policy Advisory Group (SOPAG)

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The SOPAG is being renewed for a two-year period in consonance 
with the public interest, and in accordance with the provisions of 
Public Law 92-463, the ``Federal Advisory Committee Act.''
    The SOPAG provides advice to the Secretary of Defense, the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy, and the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (SOLIC) on key issues 
related to the formulation of policy concerning special operations and 
low intensity conflict matters. The types of activities for which the 
SOPAG renders advice include: strategic and tactical reconnaissance, 
unconventional warfare, theater search and rescue, counter-terrorism, 
counter-narcotics, special forces operations, and humanitarian 
assistance.
    The Group will continue to be a well-balanced unit, composed of 
approximately ten members, who are recognized experts in military 
activities focusing on special operations. Members will be selected 
from among DoD military and civilian officials, retired flag officers, 
former diplomatic representatives, and academic and other private 
communities, to ensure a balanced perspective from the standpoint of 
functions performed and interest groups represented.
    For further information regarding the SOPAG, contact: Col. Dick 
Blair, Office of the Assistant Secretary (SOLIC), [phone].
