Energy Supply and Military Mobility

Without energy supply military mobility would not be possible. Liquid petroleum products will continue to supply energy to the military for some time to come. We and our allies will depend on crude reserves within the United States in time of war, so we would have the sizeable problem of delivery to overseas bases. Wartime requirements would affect normal refinery balances, but could be handled. Military equipment must be designed to use available fuels and require a minimum of maintenance.
