*2010 User's Conference Announcement*
Electric
power, provided primarily by mobile generator sets in the combat
zone, is the lifeblood of the Armed Forces. For without it,
all the technical wizardry of modern warfare -- the Weapons'
Systems, the Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence
(C3I) Systems, and Logistics Support Systems -- are useless.
The
Office of the DoD Project Manager- Mobile Electric Power's
mission
is to manage a coordinated Inter-Service effort for developing,
acquiring and supporting DoD's mobile electric power generator
sets
-- to include establishing/maintaining a DoD
Standard Family of MEP Generator Sets from 0.5kW portable
generator sets to 920kW Prime Power generating systems.
To
enhance interoperability, logistics support, and reduce acquisition
costs, it is DoD policy that
all Armed Forces use the Standard Family generator sets to the maximum
extent possible -- and that DoD Components will obtain a Waiver
Approval from PM-MEP prior to developing or procuring non-Standard
generator sets.
