U.S. Air Force demonstrates defense-wide leadership through energy resilience readiness exercises

The Department of the Air Force recently conducted its first regional energy resilience readiness exercise across three geographically proximate installations — Schriever, Buckley, and Peterson Space Force Bases in Colorado — to simulate the potential complexities of a widespread electricity outage. Thanks to this accomplishment, the Department of Defense has now conducted 10 ERREs since fiscal year 2020.

On 19 Nov 2020, JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, conducted its first Energy Resilience Readiness Exercise (ERRE) to test the installation's resiliency in the face of threats.
