  16. 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

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

  18. 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
