Energy in the Operational Hierarchy

PAK GLOC

3. Tactical: Energy drives key operational capabilities such as maneuver,

awareness, communication, etc. One Soldier 72 hours: 7 types, 70 batteries, 8 kg Dismounted platoon for 72 hours: >200 kg of batteries

2. Operational: 70-80% of resupply volume is fuel and water,

limits sustainment alternatives Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel ranges from $3.95

to as high as $56/gal in Afghanistan.

Improving the energy military efficiency

Exercises (ENERGEX 2012) is a Command Post Exercise (CPX) designed to analyze how different constrains of energy supply could affect sustainability of military capabilities in operational environment. Exercise participants are encouraged to apply creative thinking and looking for innovative solutions towards energy supply related issues in operational environment.

Conclusions after ENERGEX ‘12 Biggest energy consumer – relatively

static infrastructure Traditional energy saving measures possible,

however significant side effects possible

Reduced operational tempo results in marginal economy – negative impact on mission success

Use of alternative energy sources technologically possible and in long-term economically feasible

Use of alternative energy sources in home locations could contribute significantly to economic feasibility.

ENERGEX 2012 provided significant educational, practical and interagency binding value

Operational energy security* - uninterrupted access to reliable supplies of energy resources, capability to employ alternative energy sources in operational environment, efficient and environmentally friendly use of energy resources, and the ability to protect and safely deliver sufficient energy resources to meet operational needs without limiting combat capability.

Study “Energy Efficiency: Cultural Change” Why cultural dimension of energy efficient and viable operations? Challenge: to use modern technologies to ensure

efficient energy for viable military operations. Evidence: slow progress - often not technological, but

rather cultural issue: prevailing competences (understandings, perceptions

and behavioural schemes) within particular establishment

that shape the decision making process.

You don’t do it aloneThere exists possibilities for ENSEC COE to establish relationships with national and international entities, important for the further development and interoperability of the NATO ENSEC COE: New Sponsoring Nations, Contributing Partners or NATO bodies Other Partners from NATO Nations - local and international academia, educational institutions,

think tanks, etc. Other Partners from non NATO Nations. Other International Organizations
