Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Current Program and Future Priorities 24 August 2015 Col Jim Caley Director, Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office (E2O) www.hqmc.marines.mil/e2o (FOUO)
Bottom Line Up Front The Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Program is focused on 3 things: 1. Increasing the operational reach of Marine forces 2. Increasing Marines agility 3. Empowering Marines with information on energy/fuel use 2
Challenge: Marines Assault Load Marines are more effective than ever Better Equipped Better Protected Better Communications More Electronics But at the expense of increased requirements for fuel and batteries We ve gotten away from our expeditionary roots putting us at risk Battlefield Energy Demands Continue to Grow 3
Expeditionary Energy Overview Challenge Battlefield Energy Demands Continue to Grow Opportunity End-State By 2025, Marines will maneuver from the sea and sustain C4I/life support in place; the only liquid fuel needed will be for mobility systems. Energy and EF-21 Operational Reach MEB focus Sustainability in austere environments Increased Naval integration Closing Energy Gaps Enables the EF-21 Force General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. 36 th Commandant 4
E2O Mission & Organization Mission Statement: Analyze, develop, and direct the Marine Corps energy strategy in order to optimize expeditionary capabilities across all Warfighting functions Approach: Material Expeditionary Energy Concepts (formerly ExFOB) Research & Development Energy Key Performance Parameters (ekpp) Non-Material Expeditionary Energy Readiness Program (E2RP) Large Scale Exercise Training and Education MPEM/Modeling Capability Gaps & Future Focus EF-21 Operational Energy War Game Fuel Accountability Aviation Energy Command and Control 5
Expeditionary Energy Concepts (E2C) (formerly ExFOB) E2W2, EF-21, and other priority USMC gaps drive E2C Technology Focus EF-21 Gaps Marines Industry E2W2 Gaps Priority USMC Reqts E2C Team 6
Benefits of E2C USMC Industry S&T Marines Informed requirements Independently verified system performance data Leverage research from other organizations Exposure to new technologies which builds confidence in the new capabilities Snapshot of capabilities that industry has to offer Increased visibility on Marine Corps and larger military needs Intelligently allocate funds to avoid duplicating research initiatives Meet urgent needs from the field 7
Expeditionary Energy Concepts Results (fka ExFOB) Since 2009, the E2C Team has Conducted 8 demonstrations at Marine Corps bases across the country Reviewed 300+ technologies through the E2C RFI process Assessed 100+ technologies at E2C Evaluated 26 systems in lab / field following E2C Transitioned 5 systems to USMC Programs of Record 2010-1 2010-2 2011 2013 2014 2012-1 2012-2 8 E2C 2015 was held at Camp Lejeune, NC in summer 2015 8
