... To facilitate the request for a fast-track study, the data-collection phase of the project leveraged the recent work in assessing alternate energy technologies from the Defense Science Board, the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, and the Army Science Board to survey and collate data on promising power technologies. Following the guidelines established by the Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020 (Astro2020)

... PAST ARMY STUDIES -- ENERGY INFORMED OPERATIONS As part of the study development, the committee built on work previously conducted by the Army and past National Academies studies. Recent operations, contemporary Army doctrine, and projected operational concepts reflect a shift in energy conceptualization from a commodity logistic "problem" to a multifaceted domain that is integrally tied to operational capabilities.

... In particular, the document identifies two key technology-oriented systemic needs that span the operational use cases: scalable energy networks and an energy information and management system. An excerpt follows: Energy Informed Operations aims to provide the Soldier the ability to interactively monitor and manage power systems in order to optimize power availability, allowing the unit to maintain mission critical systems needed to achieve mission success .
