Aligning to the Army Leader’s PrioritiesReadiness at Best Value

Business Transformation• Define and Reengineer Critical End-to-End Processes• Manage Business System IT Investments• Improve Force Management• Strengthen Financial Management• Implement an Integrated Management System

OBT Plans, Prepares, Facilitates, and Monitors Execution of Actions within these Priorities to Improve Army Business Operations in Support of Transforming the Institutional Army

Sec Army Priorities (14 Feb 12)

• Ensure a highly capable force within evolving budgetary constraints

• Transform the Institutional Army• Build the Army of 2020 (POM 14-18)• Enhance Army activities in the Asia-Pacific Region• Fund reset and modernization• Champion Soldiers, Civilians, and Families• Strengthen information assurance and cybersecurity• Ensure accountability• Develop energy solutions• Finalize Arlington National Cemetery reforms

Chief of Staff of the Army Priorities (Jan 12)• Provide trained, equipped, and ready forces to win the current fight while

maintaining responsiveness for unforeseen contingencies.

• Develop the force of the future, Army 2020 as part of Joint Force 2020 – a versatile mix of capabilities, formations, and equipment.

• Sustain our high-quality All-Volunteer Army – Soldiers, Civilians, and Families, in the Active and Reserve Components.

• Adapt leader development to meet our future security challenges in an increasingly uncertain and complex strategic environment.

• Foster continued commitment to the Army Profession, a noble and selfless calling founded on the bedrock of trust.

RE: Renewable Energy

The Army’s Construction and Transformation Programs Grew the Energy Requirement

• Our Army Completed the Largest Organizational and Real Property Construction Program Change since W W II

• Transformed & Grew by 74.2K Soldiers► Moved ~1/3 of the Army by end of FY 2011► Impacted 380K Soldiers & Family Members► Affected 304 installations/locations

Execute Synchronized BRAC, Grow the Army, & Global Defense Posture Realignment

Army Wide Military Construction (MILCON) Program► Construct 743 Projects, worth $66.6 B from FY06-13 including

• 20 Brigade Complexes & 69,000 Dormitory spaces• 4,100 Family Housing Units & 66 Child Development Day Care Centers

► 13 Full BRAC & 8 Leased facility closures► 53 Realignments and 3 Major School realignments

• Change the Culture: Develop an Energy Informed Force Every Soldier a Power Manager Use System-wide approach for Base Camps Design & Operation Efficiency

• Drive Efficiency across the Enterprise– Technology/policies will reduce energy footprint– Leverage 3d Party financing for LSRE and Efficiency Projects

• Build Resilience through Renewable / Alternative Energy– Diversify energy sources to mitigate energy disruptions– Provide resiliency through alternative & adaptable capabilities

• Science & Technology – Army’s future efforts Leverage Science & Technology Investments

A Mix of Business Initiatives, Campaign Objectives and Staff Oversight

LSRE: Large Scale Renewable Energy

The Secretary of the Army established the EITF on September 15, 2011.

• Project Scale: Equal to or Greater than 10MW• EITF coordinates on smaller opportunities• Stakeholders: Installations, Utilities, State

Governments, Local Communities • Technology: Solar, Wind, Waste to Energy,

Biomass, and Geothermal

• Acquisition Methods: Use existing DoD land-use and third-party financing authorities

The EITF is producing a process for developing large-scale renewable energy projects that is clear, consistent and transparent. This process will be described in a Renewable Energy Project Development Guide that will detail the five phases of project development.

EITF’s Business Process

Purpose:Identify and prioritize opportunities

Purpose:Develop an opportunity into a project

Purpose:Secure a binding agreement

Purpose:Constructing assets; structuring services

Purpose:Manage operations and transition to closure

The Army’s Net Zero Program: Efficiency Improvement Efforts

Basing Power: Team Effort to Increase our Security & Base Camp Energy Efficiency

Situation: Dislocated base camps in austere conditions, resupplied by vulnerable convoys

The Team: ASA(IE&E) G-3/5/7 Rapid Equipping Force (REF) Army G-4, the Logistics Initiative Agency, and the Army Logistics Community

Efforts: Completed Case studies, developed solutions, purchased and delivered COTS and GOTS equipment to resupply High Threat Remote Areas

Results: Reduced Base Camp Fuel Consumption by 33% Improved Resupply Reliability, Generator Efficiency, and Operation

Balanced generators with loads –two generators taken offline

Hybrid Solutions to Increase operational reliability & reduce fuel consumption

Resupply via air drops
