The strategy includes a high-level line of effort to enhance Army installation resilience. Deeper into details, the Army Installations Strategy illustrates how the enterprise will maintain energy and water systems that will be “resilient, cybersecure and efficient.” There are 26 key references at the end of the document. Some of those references provide more insights into resilience planning and response. There would likely be more if the alphabet had more letters! The December 2020 Army Installation Energy and Water Strategic Plan is a third, even more-detailed Army resource. There are 33 reference documents listed at the end of that plan. The plan describes how the energy resilience goal ensures that the Army has the required energy and water to complete critical missions under all conditions. The U.S. Navy released an Installation Energy Resilience Strategy in February 2020. Links about Navy energy resilience are located at the website for the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations and Environment. A nice feature of that particular website is a list of resources at other DOD locations. That demonstrates the importance of a joint fight, whether it be on a traditional battlefield or in the utility world. The Air Force has similar guidance documents, some of which are referenced on the Office of Energy Assurance website. AF Leaders published their Installation Energy Strategic Plan in January 2021. Like other defense planning documents, it links to the National Defense Strategy and provides a flight plan for achieving mission assurance through energy assurance. The plan pursues three goals: • Identify Enabling System Vulnerabilities • Improve Resilience Planning • Ensure Resilience Results RESILIENCE CASE STUDIES “I made it through the rain and found myself respected by the others who got rained on too and made it through.” — Barry Manilow The increasing number of events that test our resilience has a bright side. Each time we ride out a storm or recover from an unexpected threat, we learn more lessons. Wise leaders share their lessons and embrace the feedback from others.
