  1. Hear About Energy?

  2. Yes You Have! 3

  3. “Theater Shaping with Allies and Partners” Operational Energy Col Bob “Brutus” Charette, USMC Director, Expeditionary Energy Office (E2O)

  4. Distributed Operations“Enabled By Technology Advances” 250% Increase in Radios 300% Increase in IT/Computers 200% Increase in # of Vehicles 75% Increase in Vehicle WGT 30% Decrease in MPG MTVR – 4.3 MPG HMMWV – 8.0 MPG MRAP – 4.0 MPG Platoon Patrol Bases Battalion HQ FOB Company Outpost 12 Positions ~25 miles X ~27 miles = ~675 sq miles AO Influence (~1,000 Marines) Force Fighting Today More Lethal…however… More Equipment, Heavier, Increased Energy Use…and…Increased Operational and Logistics Risk WEIGHT Planned Force FUEL

  5. Logistics Convoy Study24 Mar 10 – 30 Jun 10 299 Fuel/Water Convoys (98 Days) 6 Marines WIA hauling Fuel/Water 1 Marine WIA per 50 Fuel/Water Convoys

  6. Mission and Framework Mission By 2025 we will deploy Marine Expeditionary Forces that can maneuver from the sea and sustain C4I and life support systems in place; the only liquid fuel needed will be for mobility systems which will be more energy efficient than systems are today. Science and Technology Plan Expeditionary Energy Strategy Initial Capability Document Signed Sep ’11 Signed Feb ‘12 Signed Feb ‘11 Strategy and supporting requirement documents established to guide investment today and tomorrow.

  7. Small Improvements Increases Effectiveness, Less Risk 1 Gallon Fuel 0.5% Improvement ~0.5M gals/yr. 99 Fuel Trucks or $4.0M 25% 5% Improvement ~4.7M gals/yr. 989 Fuel Trucks or $39.7M 30% 15% Improvement ~14.2M gals/yr. 2,966 Fuel Trucks or $119M 45% 25% Improvement ~24M gals/yr. 4,943 Fuel Trucks or $199M $8.37 / Gallon 260,000 Gallons / Day 54 Fuel Trucks / Day or 19,771 Fuel Trucks / Year $794M / Year

  8. Experimental Forward Operating Base(ExFOB) Semi-annual process to evaluate technologies and educate Marines in support of the “Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Strategy and Implementation Plan.”

  9. First ExFOB (Mar 2010’)“Concepts-to-Combat-to-Programs”

  10. Deployed Capabilities

  11. PB BoldakHybrid Power Evaluation 10kW TQG vs. Hybrid Power (Sep 11’-to-Dec 11’) Very Effective Powering Loads Below 6kW • 80% Reduction in GENSET Runtime • 55% Reduction in Fuel Consumed • Informing MAGTF Expeditionary Hybrid Power AoA

  16. Nawa Renewable Energy Project

  17. Operational Energy HA/DRLessons Learned • Does not draw unwanted attention • Operations—simple to use technology (uneducated) • Government and Local Support (US and Host Nation) • Operational Planning Team (Stakeholder Support) • Operations and Maintenance Locally Funded and Supported (Post US) • Do no harm—Law of unintended consequences! DO GOOD!
