The Department of Defense, energy bill in 2013 was $18.9 billion.
. . . The Marines alone have estimated that they could save,
. . . $26 million per year through a 10% energy reduction at their installations, and
. . . bases, to say nothing of Marine field operations, which used an estimated,
. . . 1.5 million barrels of fuel in 2014.
Tweaking the ways that Marines:
. . . . . . Drive their vehicles,
. . . . . . Power their outposts,
. . . . . . Handle their equipment, can increase their overall battlefield range,
. . . by as much as f5 days, a change that would provide immense tactical benefit,
. . . by cutting down on refueling requirements,
. . . (and the logistical hurdles and vulnerabilities associated with them).
For Marines:
. . . it's NOT about saving money, and
. . . it’s NOT about being green,
. . . it’s about increasing mission effectiveness — and saving lives.
