U.S. Air Force Energy Strategic PlanThe Air Force Energy Strategic Plan provides a framework for energy management to achieve our energy goals, with an aim to continually improve energy utilization to maximize efficiency and promote alternative energy platforms. Our approach to energy is built upon four priorities—Improve Resiliency, Reduce Demand, Assure Supply, and Foster an Energy Aware Culture—and each priority is defined and further developed to include enterprise-wide goals and objectives essential to help us achieve our energy vision, sustain readiness, and support the mission. Any time-bound objectives are expected to be completed by the end of the target year. Under each priority, a key initiative shows how the Air Force is addressing some of its strategic goals.U.S. Air ForceUSAF_f44f343c-b6c9-11e2-b3e2-1be1e2f52354Sustain an assured energy advantage in
