Located in the heart of South Carolina, the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort is among the military's most important installations. Located on 6,900 acres 70 miles southwest of Charleston, the installation has established an energy- and water-saving culture that explores and implements new strategies and management approaches aimed at surpassing presidential mandates.
The Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) stated that the Marine Corps must change the way it uses energy in order to rebalance and prepare for the future. Over the past years at war, the Marine Corps has become more lethal, but at a price of becoming too heavy and slow. Thus, a new energy strategy must outline ways to optimize expeditionary capabilities across all warfighting functions. Many of these courses of action require changes to existing doctrine. However, unless the Marine Corps changes its culture and instills an ethos of efficient and effective use of energy, changes in doctrine alone will not bring about fully the required transformation. This paper examines why the Marine Corps needs to change its energy culture, specifically, the way Marines think about and employ energy on the battlefield. Secondly, the work evaluates the actions taken by the Marine Corps against the stages of creating major change John Kotter recommends in Leading Change to determine whether those actions are sufficient to bring about the required expeditionary energy culture. Preliminary indications show that the Marine Corps is successfully progressing along the eight-stage process, currently in stage five with some actions already in stage six.
