00:01.205 --> 00:04.622
(dramatic wistful music)

00:08.620 --> 00:09.810
- I'm General Ed Daly,

00:09.810 --> 00:12.300
Commanding General of
Army Material Command.

00:12.300 --> 00:15.470
From installation readiness
to battlefield sustainment,

00:15.470 --> 00:17.890
energy resilience is mission critical

00:17.890 --> 00:19.790
and economically prudent.

00:19.790 --> 00:22.240
On the battlefield over 70%

00:22.240 --> 00:26.900
of logistics convoys buy
weight of a fuel and water.

00:26.900 --> 00:29.220
These essential resupply convoys result

00:29.220 --> 00:31.930
in a significant number
of combat casualties.

00:31.930 --> 00:35.500
Meanwhile at home, where
we live, work and train.

00:35.500 --> 00:38.090
The Army spends more than $1 billion

00:38.090 --> 00:40.330
in installation energy every year.

00:40.330 --> 00:43.850
Enabling war fighter readiness
begins on a post camps

00:43.850 --> 00:45.290
and installations.

00:45.290 --> 00:47.130
Our installations require energy

00:47.130 --> 00:50.070
and water resilience to
sustain critical readiness.

00:50.070 --> 00:52.550
We also need to reduce
our energy dependence

00:52.550 --> 00:55.110
and improve our operational capabilities.

00:55.110 --> 00:57.510
Every dollar saved in energy programs

00:57.510 --> 00:59.960
can be applied directly to Army readiness,

00:59.960 --> 01:02.000
to increase the Army's ability

01:02.000 --> 01:04.420
to fight large-scale combat operations

01:04.420 --> 01:06.110
in an MBO environment.

01:06.110 --> 01:08.930
Each October we recognize
energy action month.

01:08.930 --> 01:10.720
(upbeat music)

01:10.720 --> 01:13.982
People first, winning
matters, army strong.

01:13.982 --> 01:16.565
(upbeat music)
