Mission and Framework
Strategy and supporting requirement documents established to guide investment today and tomorrow.
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.

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!
