"Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee" is a link to http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Defense_Policy_Board_Advisory_Committee

It's not even a good Wikipedia entry. It's marked as "This article has multiple issues" - which was why I was searching .mil for something about the board in the first place - Wikipedia has out of date links (eg it hasn't been updated since March, and doesn't list Harman or Albright, but does list Kissinger).

I suspect this means the board has been sidelined for ages. And that the idea of chucking some out and inserting some of the worst Trump ideologues is to build their resumes for their imminent unemployment, to persuade wingnut welfare foundations that these are Very Serious People who should be given Very Serious paychecks for spouting far right nonsense.
