Americas Premier Joint Warfighting Base and Air Mobility Center of Excellence Preservation of Resources The mission of the Department of Defense is more than aircraft, guns and missiles. Part of the defense job is protecting the land, waters, timber, and wildlife – the priceless natural resources that make this great nation of ours worth defending. General Thomas D. White Air Force Chief of Staff, 1957-1961

Americas Premier Joint Warfighting Base and Air Mobility Center of Excellence McGuire AFB: Energy Neutral by 2015? Key Air Mobility Command airbase on East Coast Designated one of two AF Model Energy Bases Set the ambitious goal to be off the grid by 2015 Can we do it given: Historically the USAF is an energy consumer, not producer? Geographic location? Abundance of old, inefficient legacy infrastructure? Limited resources?

Americas Premier Joint Warfighting Base and Air Mobility Center of Excellence Conclusions and Lessons Learned McGuire Strategic Energy Plan a work in progress The problem is bigger than one person, one aircraft, one base, one command, one Air Force… Best time to maximize energy saving potential is during initial design – build it in up front Sustaining typically involves upfront investment Take advantage of the energy resources at hand Energy has links to (and consequences on) activities, operations, and resources (Sustainability = Energy Security)
