The Army's energy programs aim to increase renewable energy usage and improve energy efficiency. The presentation provides updates on Army initiatives including establishing an Energy Initiatives Task Force to develop large-scale renewable energy projects using third-party financing. It also discusses efforts to improve operational energy usage through technologies to extend soldier endurance and reduce fuel consumption in vehicles. The Office of Business Transformation supports the energy program by developing planning processes and helping synchronize efforts with other Army priorities.
