Operational Energy Assumptions, Analysis and Methods -Work to Date

Abstract

DoD's Energy Challenges: Growing operational energy demand. In-development systems demand more & rapid equipping isn t the whole fix. Increasing footprint. US logistics requirements increasing. Planning has over-assumed fuel availability for ops. Underappreciated risk. Anti-access threats increasing, in insurgencies and hi-end ops. Cost growth in fuel, logistics, personnel, etc. Tooth-to-tail imbalance in larger force structure contractors in Phase I & II?
