October is Energy Action Month

In support of National Energy Action Month, Department of Defense (DoD) senior leadership will host a series of leadership forums throughout the month of October to discuss how the DoD is improving our military energy security and how it will strive to leverage energy as a strategic advantage during the 21st century. In a recent memo, Secretary Panetta noted, "By changing the DoD energy posture, America will have a military that is better able to project and sustain forces around the world to meet any challenge to the Nation's security and the interests of the American people."

DoD military services are recognizing the importance of maximizing energy efficiencies in a number of different ways. For example, Army experts from three research commands showcased one of its major energy innovations via the state-of-the-art Fuel Efficient Ground Vehicle Demonstrator Bravo, commonly referred to as FED.
