Summary The USMC's E20 initiative seeks to analyze, develop, and direct the Marine Corps' energy strategy in order to optimize expeditionary capabilities across all Warfighting functions. Clearly, these assessments involve costs that must be estimated from a variety of cost models, including those constructed from historical data, forecast models of future economic conditions and energy costs, models of cost vs. time as new technologies are incorporated, models of economies of scale, and projected operational requirements. A method of combining these disparate models without aggregating or ignoring the individual sources of uncertainty is needed to provide E20 with a better assessment of the costs, benefits, and risks associated with its energy initiatives.
