As the U.S. draws down its presence in Afghanistan and adjusts to the rebalance toward the Asia Pacific, DoD's operational energy agenda is adjusting as well. Join us for a conversation with Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy Plans and Programs Sharon Burke, and  the Director of Logistics on the Joint Staff, Lt. Gen. Robert R. Ruark, to discuss how DoD will seek to consolidate gains made thus far, apply lessons learned going forward, and seek further innovations to reduce the demand for energy, improve operational flexibility, and reduce strategic and operational risks associated with extensive energy supply chains.
