  • Beginning 22 January 2012, E2O leadership began a 5 week instructional course at Marine Corps University Command and Staff, "Creating and Sustaining Military Innovation and the Marine Corps’ Approach to Energy in the Future." This course examines the way military organizations have faced innovation challenges in the past, at wartime and absent a clear threat or a clear impetus for change before deep diving into the US Marine Corps’ venture to innovate in the way it applies energy in warfare

  • The Marine Corps launched the USMC Operational Fuel Tracking Pilot Project launched at CLNC on 1 Nov 2012 to improve automated visibility and tracking of operational fuel to achieve CMC direction in USMC Expeditionary Energy Strategy.  Six units at Camp Lejeune have received reprogrammed Vehicle Identification Keys with expanded data requirements to enhance data collection at the point of sale.  Leveraging the results of this six month Pilot, DC I&L in coordination with E2O will pursue updated Standing Operating Procedures (SOP) to implement VIL Key data requirements, and enhance reporting of operational fuel use.  

Mission
By 2025, we will deploy Marine Expeditionary Forces that can maneuver from the sea and sustain C4I and life support systems in place; the only liquid fuel needed will be for mobility systems which will be more efficient than systems are today.
