Overview: Power and energy shortages and dependencies are posing a greater threat to national security and changing expeditionary warfare. Tomorrow’s Marine Corps will require greater power and energy efficiency and self-sufficiency to operate over long distances in austere environments. To meet these challenges, today’s Marine Corps is exploring and seeking a wide range of solutions to:
- Lighten the load on today’s warfighters
- Reduce its overall footprint in Afghanistan
- Lessen energy consumption and dependence on fossil fuels
- Achieve energy efficiency in combat zones and expeditionary environments
