Congress makes the following findings: These officers assist on the analysis, assessment and planning for the civilian production and distribution of energy resources before, during and after conflicts to meet global energy requirements. A memorandum of understanding has been established with academia to lead and support the training program, enabling these officers to provide the needed technical expertise to evaluate, establish, maintain, or rehabilitate energy production and distribution systems.
Academic partnerships can double as a platform for strategic outreach to organizations in the wider military and energy sectors. It is the sense of Congress that— the establishment of Energy Functional Specialist Civil Affairs Officers in the Army is encouraging; and the Secretary of Defense should continue to support and fully fund the existing Energy Functional Specialist Civil Affairs Officer program and its academic partnership and assess opportunities to expand the program to other Armed Forces and across the combatant commands.
