About The Military Engineer
The Military Engineer (TME)—since 1909 under its original masthead Professional Memoirs, and since January 1920 in its current form as the official journal of SAME—has been the leading voice championing the contributions, the achievements, and the legacy of military engineers and those aligned with ensuring the national security of the United States.
TME is a bi-monthly publication. Each issue of TME magazine includes technical articles authored by subject matter experts throughout military, government, industry, and academia; stories and features from across SAME; and news related to engineering, energy, resilience, technology, and other subjects aligned with national security.

Reversing the Shrinking Industrial Base
Incentivizing companies to remain as advanced small businesses, without needing to transition to the large fully open competition market, coupled with difficulties for new small businesses to enter federal acquisition, has resulted in a steady pattern of decline in the nation’s defense industrial base, carrying with it risks to innovation, global standing, and national security. -
Fulfilling the Mission
Rear Adm. Dean VanderLey, CEC, USN, Commander, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, sits down with TME to discuss the Department of the Navy’s Systems Command for shore facilities and expeditionary equipment, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) and its varied responsibility that directly support warfighter lethality. -
A Roadmap for Clean Energy on Kwajalein Atoll
A recent effort led by U.S. Army Space & Missile Defense Command to meet the Army Climate Strategy for operations on Kwajalein Atoll studied potential courses of action that would help the remote installation reach 100 percent carbon-pollution free electricity by 2030. -
Pioneering Sustainability in the Federal Sector
As America undergoes a transformative shift to renewable and sustainable power systems, continuing to meet the energy needs of mission-critical installations requires a comprehensive approach that considers economic and cyber factors along with emerging technologies. -
Achieving Energy Self-Sufficiency at Guantanamo Bay
Naval Station Guantanamo Bay achieved energy self-sufficiency through a record-setting energy savings performance contract that enabled construction of a state-of-the-art combined cycle power plant. -
