What is Energy Action Month?
The President has proclaimed October 2016 as Energy Action Month. The Department of the Navy’s (DON)’s theme is, again, “Power. Presence.” in recognition of the critical role that energy plays in our ability to complete our mission. Energy Action Month is the perfect time for the services to reinforce behaviors that our Sailors and Marines can take to optimize their energy use to boost warfighting capabilities.
Why Do the Navy and Marine Corps Recognize Energy Action Month?
Power. Presence. These are fundamental to the Navy and Marine Corps’ mission to ensure stability, deter potential adversaries, and present options in times of crisis, and they depend on access to secure and reliable energy. We are deploying next-generation capabilities which boost combat effectiveness, maximize strategic options, and better protect our Sailors and Marines.
Look for ways to optimize your energy use.
