DSB - another new report - DOD Energy Strategy

The Defense Science Board has posted their latest report. All reports can be found at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dsb/reports.htm

Their new "Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on DoD Energy Strategy "More Fight - Less Fuel" is available at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dsb/reports/2008-02-ESTF.pdf

This task force was chaired by Dr. James R. Schlesinger and General Michael P.C. Carns USAF (ret.). The report "examines DoD's strategy to achieve assured energy supplies of DOD missions." "The final report concluded that the DoD faces two primary energy challenges: unnecessarily high, and growing, batttlespace fuel demand compromises our operational capability and can jeopardize mission success; and critical missions at military installations are vulnerable to loss from commercial power outage and inadequate backup power supplies."
