Setting Conditions to Solve Problems: Making a Marine Corps that Can Build Resilient Energy Chains

Abstract

The future operating environment proposed in the 2016 Marine Operating Concept (MOC), which includes a contested maritime domain, presents considerable challenges to the survivability of the ACEs energy chain. The energy chain is more than the supply chain. It incorporates all aspects of energy, such as engine efficiency or transmission methodology. In order to ensure that material, organizational, and conceptual solutions are created and implemented to address energy chain vulnerabilities, the Marine Corps must integrate holistic energy planning into operational planning teams, establish dedicated energy assurance officers, and incorporate energy planning considerations into its planning schools.
