U.S. ARMY CLIMATE STRATEGY 3
FOREWORD
Climate change threatens America’s security and is altering the geostrategic landscape as we know it. For today’s Soldiers operating in extreme temperature environments, fighting wildfires, and supporting hurricane recovery, climate change isn’t a distant future, it is a reality.
The time to address climate change is now. The effects of climate change have taken a toll on supply chains, damaged our infrastructure, and increased risks to Army Soldiers and families due to natural disasters and extreme weather. The Army must adapt across our entire enterprise and purposefully pursue greenhouse gas mitigation strategies to reduce climate risks. If we do not take action now, across our installations, acquisition and logistics, and training, our options to mitigate these risks will become more constrained with each passing year.
The Army will lead by example. We will tap into the creativity, capabilities, and commitment of Army professionals operating on every continent. We will use our buying power to drive change in industry and leverage best practices from many sources. We will engage with local communities and foreign partners to ensure mutual readiness and security in a rapidly changing environment.
The Army is on track to build on the progress we’ve achieved to date and reach every aspect of the Army enterprise.
As the Army invests in modernization, readiness, and operations, we can create the land forces that our nation needs today while securing a sustainable, cleaner tomorrow. As the Army optimizes the use of fuel, water, electricity, and other resources, we increase our resilience while saving taxpayer dollars and reducing our impact on the planet. The Army will mitigate and adapt to climate change, and in doing so gain a strategic advantage, especially as we continue to outpace our near-peer competitors.
We have a unique opportunity to improve our defense capabilities and become a more efficient force, while securing a better future. I challenge our Army to examine climate threats, prioritize resources, and take swift action.
Christine E. Wormuth Secretary of the Army
4 U.S. ARMY CLIMATE STRATEGY
ARMY CLIMATE STRATEGY
1 Adapted from: Department of Defense Climate Risk Analysis. Report submitted to the National Security Council, October 2021.
Climate change endangers national and economic security, and the health and well-being of the American people. The risks associated with climate change are broad, significant, and urgent. These risks will impact the Army at all levels: from how and where units operate and train, to how the service as a whole equips and sustains Soldiers to fight in multi-domain operations.
Through the Army Climate Strategy (ACS), the Army will continue to lead by example. The Army’s core purpose remains unchanged: to deploy, fight, and win the nation’s wars by providing ready, prompt, and sustained land dominance as part of the Joint Force. Climate change will only make this mission more challenging, and the Army must proactively reduce the risks that climate change imposes. The Army can increase capability and installations’ resiliency; prepare for new hazards and new environments;
modernize processes, standards, and infrastructure; and decrease operational energy demand—all of which in turn will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Guided by the ACS, the Army will build on its current progress in areas such as vehicle fuel efficiency and electrification, operational power generation, battery storage, land management, procurement, supply chain resilience, and workforce development. The Army will continue to reduce consumption of energy and other natural resources to improve operational readiness and modernization while adapting to and mitigating current and future climate threats.
Climate Threats and Risks
The world is already experiencing the compounding effects of climate change. Immediate hazards associated with climate change include higher temperatures;
changing precipitation patterns; and more frequent, intense, and unpredictable extreme weather. These climate hazards will alter natural and social systems through primary and secondary impacts, leading to security implications for the Army.1
Consider changing rainfall patterns, for example. As GHG emissions increase global average temperatures, scientists have observed several primary impacts of this hazard—in particular, more and worsening droughts in some regions while other regions experience more frequent and severe flooding. As a result, some regions of the world will have less access to water supplies, while others will be subjected to widespread and prolonged inundation. This situation presents opposing challenges, but both conditions will increase competition for scarce resources and demand for humanitarian aid and disaster response. The Army will face simultaneous readiness challenges as units contend with limited access at flooded bases, alongside increased water scarcity and land degradation in other areas.
The secondary impacts of climate hazards could be even more dangerous. Chief among them is an increased risk of armed conflict in places where established social orders and populations are disrupted. The risk will rise even more where climate effects compound social instability, Army tactical vehicles transport flood relief supplies along a highway in Denham Springs, Louisiana after more than 30 inches of rainfall caused severe flooding in southeast portions of the state. The Soldiers and vehicles are assigned to the Louisiana Army National Guard, which mobilized more than 1,000 personnel to respond to the flooding. (Photo Credit: Army National Guard, 1st Sgt. Paul Meeker)
“We face all kinds of threats in our line of work, but few of them truly deserve to be called existential. The climate crisis does. … Climate change is making the world more unsafe and we need to act.”
– Secretary of Defense
U.S. ARMY CLIMATE STRATEGY 5
reduce access to basic necessities, undermine fragile governments and economies, damage vital infrastructure, and lower agricultural production. Adversaries and other malign actors may seize dwindling resources while seeking new opportunities to threaten U.S. national interests. Taken together, climate hazards will result in less economic and social stability, fewer goods to meet basic needs, and a less secure world.
The Army must remain ahead of adversaries seeking strategic positional advantages in a climate-altered world. For example, the Arctic is warming twice as fast on average as the rest of the world, and disappearing sea ice is opening new trade routes and access to new natural resources, inviting greater strategic competition.
In regions across the globe, these changes foreshadow the demanding environmental conditions in which Army forces must be prepared to operate.
For the foreseeable future, climate impacts will disrupt Army activities, displace individuals and communities, and increase the frequency of crisis deployments. The Army must prepare for potential consequences including energy and water scarcity; damage to installations and infrastructure; displacement of and disruptions to operations, supply chains, and logistics; and imperiled Soldier health through exposure to airborne irritants like smoke and dust, disease vectors, and temperature extremes. In addition, the land on which the Army trains and operates may be altered, limited, or constrained. The Army must act decisively and urgently to address the risks associated with all these effects.
Army Climate Goals and Execution of the ACS
Executive Orders (EO) 14008 and 14057 instruct the U.S.
government to work deliberately to put the world on a sustainable climate pathway, build resilience both at home and abroad, and catalyze beneficial private sector investment.2 Starting from the policies and directives in the EOs, the Army will pursue three major goals to reach the ACS end state (see box). Initiatives throughout the ACS contribute to multiple government-wide EO targets including reduced pollution from multiple sources, net-zero installations, sustainable procurement, increasing energy and water efficiency, and building resilience against the impacts of climate change.3
2 Executive Order 14008, Section 101; Executive Order 14057, Section 101.
3 Executive Order 14008, Section 201; Executive Order 14057, Sections 202–206, 208, and 303.
To advance these goals and achieve Army-wide unity of effort against climate change threats, the ACS establishes three Lines of Effort (LOE). LOE 1:
Installations will enhance resilience and sustainability by adapting infrastructure and natural environments to climate change risks, securing access to training and testing lands into the future, and mitigating GHG emissions.
LOE 2: Acquisition & Logistics will increase operational capability while reducing sustainment demand and strengthening climate resilience. Finally, LOE 3: Training will prepare a force that is ready to operate in a climate-altered world.
Implementing this strategy requires input from two important enabling enterprises that span all ACS LOEs. The first is Army modernization, the enterprise that will create and deliver technological solutions to problems not only within each LOE, but spanning multiple LOEs as well. The second enabler is the Army’s research, development, test, and evaluation (RDTE) enterprise, which will both refine the requirements that drive technical solutions and combine technologies into effective systems that can be applied in the real world. Because of their cross-cutting nature and broad perspective, RDTE experts and modernization stakeholders must participate early and often in every ACS LOE.
The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment is the proponent for this strategy, and will approve an Army Climate Action Plan to guide implementation through specific actions across the Total Army: all components, Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands, and Direct Reporting Units.
ACS END STATE AND GOALS
The Army will be a resilient and sustainable land force able to operate in all domains with effective mitigation and adaptation measures against the key effects of climate change, consistent with Army modernization efforts.
• Achieve 50% reduction in Army net GHG pollution by 2030, compared to 2005 levels
• Attain net-zero Army GHG emissions by 2050
• Proactively consider the security implications of climate change in strategy, planning, acquisition, supply chain, and programming documents and processes

LINE OF EFFORT 1:
INSTALLATIONS
There are over 130 Army installations around the world that protect, support, and enable the force. They are the points where modernization and readiness efforts converge to create the trained and capable forces needed during crisis and conflict. Because of the systems and people they host, the communities they connect with, and the spaces they safeguard, installations anchor and guide some of the Army’s most consequential efforts to improve itself while responding to climate change.
Installation Senior Commanders are the Total Army leaders responsible for executing this LOE at the local level.4
As the Army evolves, leaders and units will take action on and through their installations to enhance resilience and

sustainability by adapting infrastructure and natural environments to climate change risks, securing access to training and testing lands into the future, and mitigating GHG emissions. To these ends, the Army will pursue several related tracks, including resilient energy and water supply, carbon-pollution-free electricity, efficient structures, non-tactical fleet electrification, land management, and enhanced planning.
Resilient Energy and Water Supply
The Army must have resilient energy and water supply to complete its missions under all conditions. Because natural, physical, and cyber threats vary by location, the Army tailors its resilience investments to meet the circumstances of each installation. In the last five years
U.S. ARMY CLIMATE STRATEGY 7
alone, the Army enhanced installation-wide resilience by bringing systems online such as Fort Irwin’s water treatment plant upgrade, Fort Knox’s 2.1-megawatt solar field, and Fort Carson’s 8.5-megawatt-hour lithium battery. There are 950 renewable energy projects supplying 480 megawatts of power to the Army today and 25 microgrid projects scoped and planned through 2024. The Army will continue these and other efforts under the Army Installation Energy and Water Strategic Plan to maximize resilience, efficiency, and affordability on every installation. In collaboration with adjacent communities and stakeholders, the Army and its partners will invest across all its installations in onsite, backup renewable generation; large-scale battery storage;
microgrids; and utility systems updated to current industry standards.5 The Army will install a microgrid on every installation by 2035. The Army will also pursue enough renewable energy generation and battery storage capacity to self-sustain its critical missions on all its installations by 2040. Because of their role in critical defense missions and preparing and deploying forces, Mission Assurance Installations, Mobilization Force Generation Installations, and Power Projection Platforms will have priority for energy and water resilience projects.
5 Local electrical systems that can manage multiple generation sources and loads and disconnect from the regular power grid to operate independently. See the Glossary.
Carbon-Pollution-Free Electricity
The Army purchases over $740M of electricity from the national electric grid every year. In 2020, this electricity added 4.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide as well as methane, nitrous oxide, and other GHGs into the atmosphere. While the Army has decreased overall installation GHG emissions by 20% since 2008, the service can do more to incentivize greening the grid. Going forward, the Army will actively pursue carbon-pollution-free electricity production and storage to and on its installations.
The Army looks to its real property assets to continue providing space for new renewable energy projects that both reduce GHG emissions and increase energy resilience.
In collaboration with other Department of Defense (DoD) components, the Army will also pursue opportunities to encourage the national electric grid’s transition by purchasing electricity from carbon-pollution-free generation sources. The Army is committed to 100% carbon-pollution-free electricity to meet the needs of its installations by 2030.
Efficient Structures
Increasingly efficient structures conserve Army resources, enable flexibility in resource allocation, and reduce operating costs. The Army has been a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) since 2001, and has so far received USGBC’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification on 1,041 facilities. LEED is a globally recognized set of standards for sustainable, efficient, and cost-conscious buildings, developments, and communities that covers every aspect of construction and operation from architectural details to user mobility, construction techniques, and building materials. There are more than 65 million square feet of LEED-certified facility space in the Army’s inventory within the United States as well as on Army installations in Germany, Japan, and South Korea. The Total Army will continue to expand its LEED-certified footprint by seeking the latest LEED Silver certification as a minimum standard for all new construction and major renovations and by exploring opportunities for more LEED Platinum certifications—the system’s highest level. The Army will also modernize its installation workforce to ensure they have the training and expertise needed to maintain facilities to LEED standards. The Army has also pursued efficiency gains at smaller scale, like replacing energy-
Solar panel arrays form a canopy at a construction site in Fort Hunter Liggett, California. The construction site is for phase one and two of a solar microgrid project at the installation, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District.
