The 16 boards being reinstated so far include many of the more prominent panels, including the Defense policy, business, science and health boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members are being named to the panels, and Kirby said that recommendations for other boards to resume operations are still under consideration. More announcements will be made in coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the last two months of his tenure, former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/afghanistan\/2021\/08\/20\/we-mishandled-this-so-dramatically-trump-acting-secdef-chris-miller-on-us-withdrawal-from-afghanistan\/\" target=\"_blank\">acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller<\/a> removed a number of longtime members from several defense policy, health, science and business boards and replaced many with loyalists of former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After taking office, Austin in early February, ordered a review and said hundreds of Pentagon advisory board members had to resign, incuding more than 30 of Miller\u2019s last-minute replacements. At the time, officials said that Austin\u2019s decision to suspend the boards and study the issue was driven by the frenetic activity of Miller to remove dozens of board members and replace them in such a short amount of time between Trump\u2019s election loss and the inauguration of President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The review was designed to assess whether each board provides value and make sure its focus aligns with U.S. strategic priorities and the National Defense Strategy. And all committee members whose appointment comes from the defense secretary were ordered to resign by Feb. 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the 42 advisory panels listed in Austin\u2019s initial memo, 31 had their members removed, six were part of the review but their members were retained, and five others had either no members or had concluded their business. Among the 31 were some of the department\u2019s most well known boards, including those with purview over defense policy, science, health, innovation, Arlington National Cemetery and women in the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All together there were more than 600 members on the 42 boards, but defense officials weren\u2019t able to say exactly how many had to resign. They said it was \u201chundreds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 16 that will be able to begin again are: Defense Business Board, Defense Policy Board, Defense Health Board, Defense Board of Actuaries, Medicare-Eligible Board of Advisors, Defense Science Board, Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces, Uniform Formulary Beneficiary Advisory Panel, Inland Waterways Users Board, Defense Department Wage Committee, Board on Coastal Engineering Research, Marine Corps University Board of Visitors, Department of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, U.S. Strategic Command Strategic Advisory Group, Army Science Board and the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 16 boards being reinstated so far include many of the more prominent panels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":74847,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":68,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[100,23,93,12,25,68],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1334],"class_list":["post-38876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters","category-pentagon-congress"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"BIGJFJTCIVDX7OSHP3QGWZGV5E","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/09\/02\/pentagon-restarts-16-advisory-boards-after-7-month-pause\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pentagon restarts 16 advisory boards after 7-month pause - Army Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The 16 boards being reinstated so far include many of the more prominent panels.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pentagon restarts 16 advisory boards after 7-month pause\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The 16 boards being reinstated so far include many of the more prominent panels.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/09\/03\/pentagon-restarts-16-advisory-boards-after-7-month-pause\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Army Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-09-03T01:52:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T07:10:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lolita C.
