NEW REALITIES: ENERGY SECURITY IN THE 2010s AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE U.S. MILITARY

Revolutionar* changes among energy producers and dramatically altered patterns of energy consumption across the planet are having profound implications for American national security in general and the U.S. Arm* specifically. The U.S. Arm* Wa* College gathered experts from the policymaking community, academia, think tanks, the private sector, and the militar* services at the Reserve Officers Association in Washington, DC, in November 2013 to address first the major "new realities," both geographically and technologically, and then the specific militar* implications. The chapters of this compendium are based on the presentations delivered at that conference, which was funded through the generous support of the U.S. Arm* Wa* College Foundation.
