The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the war between Iran and Iraq underline the grim thesis of this book. Howard Bucknell argues that our dependence upon foreign oil poses an unequaled threat not only to our security as a nation but also to the fabric of our society. He issues a call for confronting this imminent crisis, for conservation and for the urgent development of new sources of energy.

As we enter the 21st century, the Department of Defense (DOD) remains critically dependent on oil from petroleum for operational energy and for all force projection. Although this has worked well historically, with DOD simply being one of the major consumers of commercial energy sources, there are concerns that this picture may not continue throughout the 21st century. In response to concerns about U.S. and global depletion of cheap petroleum resources and the particular impact of this on future DOD energy resource needs, a series of workshops were held during 2002 and 2003 at National Defense University. These workshops were specifically aimed at the policy, geopolitics, economics, and technological aspects of future energy supply and demands, attempting to answer questions about the possible need for DOD engagement with industry and with the Department of Energy (DOE) on future energy resource issues. Particular issues addressed in the workshops and in this report include: the role of DOD in current and near future development by the oil and gas industry; the role of DOD in national and international future energy programs; how estimates of future availability and cost of hydrocarbon fuels will impact DOD; the need for a DOD long term strategy and policy regarding potential energy shortages; and the effects of environmental constraints on DOD energy options. The first workshop concluded that the major DOD requirement for energy in the next 50 years would remain liquid hydrocarbons, but that there was grave disagreement as to whether this requirement could continue to be met as it has in the past. This led to the further conclusion that DOD would be very wise to begin to more closely monitor this situation and take appropriate actions as necessary. The remaining three workshops in the series focused on potential future energy replacements for oil with an emphasis on DOD needs.

Energy used by the manufacturing and transportation sectors of the U.S. economy in support of DoD activities is studied. Estimates are given of energy usage by various industries in support of DoD activities for 1965 and 1967 through 1970. The methodology applied in the report is sufficiently general to lend itself to estimating future industrial energy requirements for various DoD force postures and to analyzing various energy policies in a more energy-austere environment than at present.

Powering the Armed Forces offers a perspective on the impressive work now under way in the US military forces to address energy challenges and ultimately achieve energy security. Drawn from a Hoover Institution conference in December 2011, contributors to the book include senior defense officials from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Departments of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, as well as representatives from the National Defense University and Naval Postgraduate School. The authors discuss energy security and the defense department’s contribution to energy issues from the strategic level to the operational and tactical battlefield environment. They reveal how energy critically relates to our national security mission and to the effectiveness and safety of our men and women fighting on land, at sea, and in the air. Most importantly, they show that the defense department is committed to improving our nation’s energy position and to demonstrating its ability to influence events through its commitment to sound policies and tangible contributions across the spectrum of energy security.

Department of Defense (DoD) installations rely on the commercial electricity grid for 99 percent of their electricity needs, but extensive energy delivery outages in 2012 have reinforced that the U.S. electricity grid is vulnerable to disruptions from natural hazards and actor-induced outages, such as physical or cyber attacks. In the event of a catastrophic disaster--such as a severe hurricane, massive earthquake, or large-scale terrorist attack--DoD installations would also serve as a base for emergency services. To enhance energy security, DoD has identified diversifying energy sources and increasing efficiency in DoD operations as critical goals. But how to enhance energy security across the portfolio of installations is not clear and several questions remain unanswered: Energy security for how long? Under what conditions? At what cost? The underlying analytical questions are, what critical capabilities do U.S. installations provide, and how can DoD maintain these capabilities during an energy services disruption in the most cost-effective manner? Answering these questions requires a systems approach that incorporates technological, economic, and operational uncertainties. Using portfolio analysis methods for assessing capability options, this paper presents a framework to evaluate choices among energy security strategies for DoD installations. This framework evaluates whether existing or proposed installation energy security strategies enhance DoD capabilities and evaluates strategy cost-effectiveness.
