The Challenge
Over the last decade of war, the Marine Corps has become more lethal to defeat a new enemy. But these powerful capabilities come at a cost. Our unprecedented demand for fuel and water, tethers Marines to vulnerable, logistics tails, ultimately putting Marines at risk: One Marine is killed or wounded for every 50 fuel and water convoys.
The Expeditionary energy Office of the United States Marine Corps developed an energy strategy to reduce the Marines’ fuel consumption in half by the year 2025. By using breakthrough, scalable, and renewable, technologies, such as harvesting water from the air, telekinetic energy, or solar energy,Marines will be able to carry out their mission with less logistics burden.
