Community Mission
The mission of the SAME Energy Security (ES) Community of Interest (COI) is to engage COI members and support the Department of Defense on activities related to security of energy and other critical utility infrastructure across the SAME enterprise in support of the 2030 SAME Strategic Plan – The Journey to 2030.
Specifically, the ES COI will lead efforts to strengthen industry-government engagement (IGE) by fostering a supportive environment to discuss ES activities and advancements in support of the A/E/C community and security of our national energy and other critical utility infrastructure.
Join the SAME Engage ES NetworkStrategic Alignment & Goals
The ES COI’s strategic goals were developed in alignment with the 2030 SAME Strategic Plan.
Goal 1: Drive Partnerships Through Focused Industry-Government Engagement
- The ES COI will support engagements between the military, agency partners, and the A/E/C community to collaborate on solutions to address global security challenges related to energy and other critical utility infrastructure. The ES COI will lead an IGE for Energy Infrastructure Supply Chain Security and will host an annual Senior DoD panel at JETC to discuss ES topics to strengthen this engagement.
Goal 2: Deliver Solutions for Critical Infrastructure and Mission Readiness Challenges
- The ES COI will focus on developing educational opportunities, engagements, and programs on topics related to security of energy and other critical utility infrastructure, while collaborating with Posts and other COIs to develop discussions to yield solutions, best practices, and actionable information.
Goal 3. Develop People to Strengthen America’s STEM Pipeline and Technical Workforce
- The ES COI will leverage the ES Track at JETC, webinars, and other engagements to support and encourage trade-related careers and professional/technical development in the areas of energy and other critical utility infrastructure. The SC will cultivate leaders who lead with courage, character, respect, and tolerance.
