This ebook is a compilation of three military reports about energy usage and conservation: Military Operational Energy Strategy; Navy Energy Program for Security and Independence; and A Navy Energy Vision for the 21st Century.
In 2010, U.S. armed forces consumed more than five billion gallons of fuel in military operations. The number one factor driving that fuel consumption is the nature of today's defense mission. Twenty-first century challenges to U.S. national security are increasingly global and complex, requiring a broad range of military operations and capabilities - and a large and steady supply of energy. At the same time that military demand for energy is growing, global and battlefield energy supplies are under pressure. At the operational and tactical level, fuel logistics have proven vulnerable to attack in recent conflicts. Strategically, energy is important for economic stability and growth, with nations around the world increasingly competing for the same energy resources. As long as U.S. forces rely on large volumes of energy, particularly petroleum-based fuels, the vulnerability and volatility of supplies will continue to raise risks and costs for the armed forces. Indeed, the Department's current energy consumption patterns are inconsistent with national strategic goals to build American strength and a stable international order, including by reducing the Nation's dependence on oil and transforming the U.S. energy economy.
