Energy-Informed Wargaming
In a complex and rapidly evolving world, how do we plan to dominate future wars? How do we ensure the energy needed to support our mission is available? #NoFuelNoFight
Power Tuesday - B-1 Engine
Batter up! It's #PowerTuesday and that means we've got some trivia for you. Who can name the engine on the B-1? What about thrust capability?
Power Tuesday - AC-130U
Another #PowerTuesday! What's the nickname of the AC-130U gunship that recently retired in June?
Power Tuesday
It's #PowerTuesday! Does anyone know the top speed of the Pave Hawk??
Taking Off
We're taking off for the weekend...See ya later! #FridayFeeling #B1
API Innovation Challenge
Hey Innovators! We've officially launched our AFWERX Innovation Challenge and we need your input!
Have a burning idea to reduce fuel…burn? Let us know! https://go.usa.gov/xweBr

Fuel More Fight
Will you join the mission to optimize the Air Force? #FuelMoreFight
"Fuel is a critical component of how we get our mission done," says Master Sergeant Michael Howell of Joint Base Charleston. #FuelMoreFight
"If we don't have the right fuel, at the right place, at the right time, we can't execute our mission." Master Sergeant Douglas Braden at Joint Base Charleston tells us why planning fuel logistics is vital to the mission. #FuelMoreFight
Fuel More Fight
Whether they are conducting airstrikes, delivering cargo, transporting our troops, or saving lives…Our Airmen need fuel to complete the mission.
But we need to be smart about the way we use our resources and ensure the fuel is there…when and where Airmen need it.

Impact of Aviation Fuel Efficiency
We asked: Does operational energy efficiency have a direct impact on our combat capability?
Hear what Maj Cade Collins, KC-135 Navigator, had to say. #FuelMoreFight #WednesdayWisdom
It not only saves fuel, but it's safer...
"It not only saves fuel, but it's safer…" Learn about the optimization initiative Capt Shelly Palmer is working on at Air Mobility Command!

Improving fuel efficiency on the KC-135
Maj Cade Collins, Air Mobility Command Operational Energy Analyst and KC-135 Navigator, tells us about an initiative he is working on that could improve fuel efficiency on the KC-135 by 7-9%. Wow!
#FuelMoreFight #WednesdayWisdom
Without fuel, there is no fight
Capt Shelly Palmer, an Operational Energy Analyst at Air Mobility Command, says it all: "Without fuel, there is no fight."
#WednesdayWisdom #FuelMoreFight
Did you know Air Force Operational Energy is conducting Line Operations Efficiency Analyses (LOEA) across several of the Air Force 'heavies' to determine best practices in operational efficiency?
Maj Monica Riggs, KC-135 pilot, tells us why this is important.

Black History Month
What does #BlackHistoryMonth mean to you?
As 2018 comes to a close, it's time to look back at some of SAF/IEE Installation Energy Program’s accomplishments from the past year.
Flying the B-1
#TBT to our Chief of Staff, Mike Penland, flying the B-1! Do you know its nickname?
Do you even lift?
Ever wonder about the science behind flight? Well you don't need to be one of our aeronautical engineers!
Check out this video by Air Mobility Command to get a crash course (pun intended) on the forces at work.
Lightening the Load
These tie-down chains look pretty heavy eh? #DYK that approximately 1000 lbs. of chains are carried on the C-17 aircraft? What if we could replace those with light-weight synthetic rope (that's safer too!) to optimize our fuel use?
This is just one of the ways #AFEnergy is helping to innovate the United States Air Force. Check it out: www.safie.hq.af.mil/OpEnergy/
Fueling More Fight
"When it comes to operational energy, it's important to be as efficient as possible, allowing us to maximize the number of fighters we move and saving both the government and the taxpayer money while doing it," says Lt Col Russell Johnson, Air Operation Squadron Delivery Control Officer from Air Combat Command Headquarters. #FuelMOREFight #EnergyActionMonth
