SOLUTIONS * A Short War * Main Manufactures go to 24/7, 3 shifts * Conservation Measures Battery Life will be fully utilized Used only when required Use of alternate options

RECONSTITION PRIORITIES * Emphasize Rechargables * Continue to support OIF/OEF * Fill backorders and worldwide demands * Fill safety levels * Fill War Reserves

FUTURE CHALLENGES * Industrial Base: Lighter, longer lasting, lower cost * Government: -Better planning and funding -Validate future requirements -Get the mix right for chargeables and non-rechargeables -Balance urge to get well soon vs. industrial base health issues * What else does the “Warfighter” want
