The us military intends to implement a five-year program to combat climate change worth nearly $ 7 billion, to be precise - 6.8 billion. Three-quarters of the budget will be spent on improving resilience to climate change of army installations with the help of micro-networks and the electrification of vehicles. Analytical publication Breaking Defense, citing published on the eve of the plans of the Pentagon told about some details of the implementation of the program of struggle for the environment.

The energy efficiency of the U.S. army will occur in three ways climate strategy: technical modernization, optimization of logistics and personnel training.

As extreme weather events become more common, the army must adapt its installation, a program of recruitment and training to the armed forces could act in that changing environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions

the Minister said the armed forces of the United States Kristin Vormut.

About 5.2 billion of planned environmental budget will be spent on the electrification of army transportation and the creation of local energy systems Microgrid to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances. By 2027, it is planned to put into operation 55 local energy systems. The program will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10% compared to the baseline 2008 level by the end of 2023 financial year and 40% by the end of 2027.

By 2027 it is planned to convert the entire fleet of light vehicles used for maintenance of the army of the objects on the motors. The share of medium and heavy transport using a hybrid propulsion system, in the same year must be 40%. In the framework of environmental programs in the next year, measures will be implemented to increase the efficiency of army logistics.

To increase "climate literacy" civilian and military personnel, the Pentagon has laid relatively modest sum of one million dollars. The money will be spent on the study of best practices in the field of climate change and subsequent retraining of the military and civilians.

Thus, U.S. forces plan to not only reduce the negative impact on the environment, but also to prepare for participation in operations in difficult climatic conditions.

Future competitive advantage requires advanced operational capabilities, reflecting the changing environmental conditions
