FROM THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY FOR INSTALLATIONS, ENERGY, AND ENVIRONMENT MS. KATHERINE HAMMACK


CHANGING THE CULTURE


‘Making energy a consideration in everything we do’ I


am pleased to have the opportunity to work with the Army Acquisition, Logistics,


and Technology decision factor in the Army.


The Army is changing the way we view power and energy by making it a con- sideration in everything we do, from


POWERING GENERATORS

decision making to equipping a squad out on patrol, to exploring better use of the energy we have, to constructing and modernizing our facilities to meet high- performance building standards.


Collectively, the Army has a challenge before us: to provide our Soldiers a decisive advantage in any mission by


developing, acquiring, fielding, and sus- taining the world’s best equipment and services, and by leveraging technologies and capabilities to meet future Army needs.


current and


Often, the decisive advantage is having the power and energy required to power a Soldier. Emerging technologies, such as the Soldier Wearable Integrated Power Equipment System taken to the field by the Iron Rangers [1st Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment],


is helping to lever-


age new technologies. The Soldier System Integration Lab at Fort Devens, MA, is helping us design and measure systems in order to provide Soldiers the capabili- ties they will have to have to meet future Army needs.


We are not only examining new tech- nologies, but also reexamining how we are using the resources we already have. We are changing the Army’s culture and making energy a consideration in every- thing we do.


Today, we are giving Soldiers and lead- ers the authority and capability


to


manage all aspects of energy to include status, resources, and performance. We are significantly reducing our energy footprint. We are providing flexibility and resiliency by developing alternatives and adaptable capabilities.
