Description

Examines DoD’s strategy to achieve assured energy supplies. Identifies: opportunities to reduce fuel demand by forces and assess the effects on cost, operations and force structure; identify opportunities to deploy renewable and alternative energy sources for facilities and forces; identify institutional barriers to making the transitions recommended; identify and recommend programs to reduce facility energy use; and identify the benefits from DoD deployment of new energy technologies. There are 2 challenges: battlespace fuel demand compromises our operational capability and can jeopardize mission success; and critical missions at military installations are vulnerable to loss from commercial power outage and inadequate backup power supplies.
