Maintaining Sustainability of Forward Operating Bases

Authors: Jr Charette Robert; MARINE CORPS WASHINGTON DC
Abstract:
The Marine Corps has launched a major initiative to increase its combat effectiveness by changing the way it uses energy. In August 2009, the Commandant declared energy a top priority, and in November created the Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office (E2O). Its mission is to analyze, develop, and direct the Marine Corps energy strategy to optimize expeditionary capabilities across all warfighting functions. The Marine Corps is focused on energy today not because it wants to but because it has to. Energy is a critical enabler, but is also a growing vulnerability to our ability to serve as an expeditionary force.
