Mobile Electric Power and Environmental Control Requirements Study

Abstract

Mobile electric power (MEP) generation and distribution is a critical and growing need across the full range of military operations. The objective of this study was to analyze future Marine Corps MEP generation and environmental control unit (ECU) capabilities to determine requirements, identity gaps, excesses, and shortfalls and to develop and evaluate alternatives that address these capability gaps, excesses and shortfalls. The Study comprises two phases: Phase I, which is the subject of this report, documents Marine Corps MEP and ECU requirements on a Table of Authorized Materiel Control Number (TAMCN)-by-T AMeN basis, assesses capabilities and identifies excesses, gaps and shortfall's in those MEP and ECU capabilities in the 2012 to 2020 timeframe. Phase II will analyze the capabilities and requirements of a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) and Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) to provide MEP generation and ECU support in a tactical environment. The Study's scope encompasses all Marine Corps equipment requiring MEP and ECU support that is projected to be operational during the Study's timeframe.
