Summary	Analysis of Advanced Battery Technology for USMC Expeditionary Tactical Information Systems. The Marine Corps is overly reliant on fuel based energy. This reliance increases risk and exposure to Marines, tethers Marines to logistical infrastructures and limits the Marines Corps future war-fighting potential. Therefore, a more efficient use of energy by tactical equipment and platforms is a crucial step towards reduced vulnerability and increased combat effectiveness. USMC interests in MANET radios as the solution for tactical communications is leveraged to examine their current network/routing protocols, power requirements, power capacity and limitations IOT evaluate potential advanced Li-Ion battery technologies.
