U.S. Army Stresses Energy Security and Sustainability

October 4, 2011

WASHINGTON – October 4, 2011. To provide the energy we need to accomplish our global mission, our Army spends about $4B each year. Reducing demand and enhancing energy security are operationally necessary, financially prudent, and mission critical. Assuring sufficient, secure energy — in our operational missions and at our installations — must become a key planning consideration for all Army activities.

Through our comprehensive efforts in the areas of Soldier Power, Basing Power, and Vehicle Power, we are working to ensure that the Army of the future has assured access to the resources it will need to perform its mission — at a cost it can afford.
