5. Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) Energy Strategic Objectives
2006 – SECDEF creates Director Defense Research Engineering Energy Security Task Force (ESTF) & directs Defense Science Board (DSB) to evaluate/propose Energy Strategy
2007 – ESTF analysis results in $300M+ plus-up in Power & Energy
2008 – DSB releases Final Report on DOD Energy Strategy
2008 – Congress directs OSD establish an “energy czar” position
2008 – Army establishes Energy Security Task Force to develop way-forward
2008 – Army establishes Senior Energy Council & establishes a Senior Executive position responsible for energy activities
Maintain or enhance operational effectiveness while reducing total force energy demands
Increase energy strategic resilience by developing alternative/assured fuels and energy
Enhance operational and business effectiveness by institutionalizing energy considerations and solutions in DoD planning and business processes
Establish and monitor Department-wide energy metrics

6. Mobile Electric Power Program History
Identified need for a Department of Defense Standard Family of Mobile Electric Power Generating Sources
US Army designated as lead standardization activity
Established Project Manager Mobile Electric Power to execute mission
Codified in Department of Defense Directive and Joint Operating Procedures
1965
