PENTAGON, Washington DC -- October is Energy Awareness Month! A joint Army Leadership Message conveys the importance of our collective efforts in the areas of Energy and Water Security.
Assuring sufficient, secure Energy and Water in our operational missions and at our installations is becoming a key planning consideration for all Army activities.
Through our comprehensive efforts in the areas of Soldier Power, Basing Power, and Vehicle Power, the Army is working to ensure that the Army of the future has assured access to the resources it will need to perform its mission, at a cost it can afford.
Collectively, by making a difference today, we will continue to: reduce demand, increase efficiency, employ alternative sources, and create a culture of energy accountability.
