Batteries are a vital and dynamic sector at the center of national efforts to deliver effective battlefield operations, secure critical defense supply chains and ensure America''s clean energy future.
installation and operational energy. For instance, effective operations of liquid-fueled platforms require power for a range of infrastructure and command functions. In addition, the advent of electrified forces will further break down the practical distinctions between energy used on base and in the field.
The tactical battalion command post can serve as the kernel of the mobile military microgrids needs to integrate ECVs and DEWs in brigade combat teams for multi-domain operations. Integrating energy storage and limited renewable energy generation is essential to supporting these emerging technologies and capabilities.

Officer (RO) or Terminal Manager (TM) shall submit storage tank data to the respective Military Service, which shall in turn coordinate data with the appropriate DESC Regional/Field Office. For DESC-operated DFSPs not on military installations, the DESC Regional/Field Office shall submit storage tank data worksheets directly to DESC-BI. …
tion by 36 percent and reduces energy system costs by 24 percent. Decreased fuel requirements at outlying FOBs equates to fewer resupply convoys, re-ducing operational fuel use, time spent outside the wire by service members and associated combat casualties. Background Military operations involve the pro-jection of military power beyond the
Provide Carbon and Pollution-Free Energy. In recent years, DOD has increasingly focused on the potential threats posed by climate change. An example of this is the Army Climate Strategy, which set goals for 100 percent carbon- and pollution-free electricity for Army installations by 2030. 10 Given this policy priority, we believe a DEA …
