Energy is an essential enabler of military capability, and the Department of Defense depends on energy-resilient forces and facilities to achieve its mission. DoD consumed over 85 million barrels of fuel to power ships, aircraft, combat vehicles, and contingency bases at a cost of nearly $9.2 billion. At over 500 worldwide military installations, the Department spent $3.4 billion on energy to power over 585,000 facilities and 160,000 non-tactical vehicles.
Enabling Objectives:
-
Understand Energy Resilience: Enhancing the military capability, readiness, and resilience of our installations and forces through assured access to resilient and cyber secure fuel and power.
-
Understand Energy Supply — Understand emerging technologies that can reduce the use of nonrenewable energysources
-
-Understand Energy Risk: Identifying, assessing, and integrating energy-related risks into DoD decision-making associated with requirements, deliberate planning, wargames and exercises, installation master planning, Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP), and investments in forces and installations.
-
-Understand Energy Performance: Ensuring energy efficiency and lower costs at DoD installations through reliable, efficient use of power and alternative financing mechanisms.
-
-Understand Cyber Secure risk and Facilities: Reducing the cyber risks to facility related control systems to ensure reliable power for critical missions.
