THE ENERGY CIRCUIT
A long-term OEATF effort, scheduled for completion in the 2nd quarter of FY15, will produce a theater-level base- line analysis that integrates the MMT and scenarios to provide the Army’s total fuel consumed over a campaign for an entire theater.
Also involved in the OEATF are the Program Executive Office for Combat Support and Combat Service Support, the U.S. Army Logistics Innovation Agency and the Office of
the Deputy
Assistant Secretary of the Army for Cost and Economics. Te task force has engaged a handful of other stakeholders from DA and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), including representa- tives from the U.S. Army Sustainment and Maneuver
Support Centers of
GOING PAPERLESS USAMMDA’s RO Branch began enforcing its self-imposed mandate to become a paperless office in early 2013, eliminating the paperwork for its U.S. Food and Drug Administration applications and discontinuing hard copies of the files on 80 active products. The RO staff is working to elec- tronically archive vast amounts of documentation dating back to the 1900s. (USAMMDA photo)

it traditionally has applied to assessing combat power.
Created in March 2013, the OE Analy- sis Task Force (OEATF) is headed by the TRADOC Analysis Center (TAC) and also includes the U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity and the U.S. Army Center for Army Analysis. Led by TAC’s Maurice Hayes and Bonnie McIlrath, the task force plans to develop a robust analytical capability to conduct OE analyses that will inform acquisi- tion, force design and structure, concept development and investment decisions. It is working to identify gaps in Army data, scenarios and methods, models and tools

(MMT), and to propose improvements that could mitigate those gaps.
Te OEATF is also working to identify relevant sustainment and operational metrics. By leveraging operational plan-based scenarios to establish condi- tions and reflect threats to maneuver and sustainment assets, the OEATF is developing a baseline fuel consumption analysis that accounts for air, ground and Soldier systems as well as contin- gency bases. Tese analyses identify the key OE drivers and tipping point issues associated with supportability and mis- sion effectiveness.
SEEKING RENEWABLES WITH A GLOBAL REACH A long-term cooperative research and development agreement between the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Com- mand (ATEC) and Constellation Energy is designed to help Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD, boost the use of renewable energy and increase energy security while producing technology that can be deployed to the battlefield or to Army installations.
ATEC oversees Army testing centers throughout the country, including the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) at APG. Its partnership with Constellation includes several lines of effort, including the development of a geothermal power
