RMKS/1.  The Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Energy Excellence Award Program 
annually recognizes excellence in the areas of energy security, energy 
resilience, innovation, combat effectiveness, and program management across 
the Department of the Navy (DON).  This year's submissions reflect the hard 
work and dedication of leaders across the DON who know that energy security 
is critical to mission success.

2.  One Navy and one Marine Corps command was selected for an award in each 
category, if applicable.  Award categories are listed as follows:
    a.  Installation (Large).  This category is for DON installations with
    energy consumption greater than or equal to 500,000 million British 
Thermal Units (BTU) during the FY.
    b.  Installation (Small).  This category is for DON installations with
    energy consumption less than 500,000 million BTU during the FY.
    c.  Afloat (Large).  This category is for commissioned afloat combatant 
and amphibious naval units with crews greater than or equal to 400 personnel.
    d.  Afloat (Small).  This category is for commissioned afloat combatant 
and amphibious naval units with crews less than 400 personnel.
    e.  Afloat (Logistics).  This category is for auxiliary ships including 
all civil manned ships from the combat logistics force under Military Sealift
Command.
    f.  Aviation (Large).  This category is for DON air group sized units
operating under aircraft controlling custodians.

units.
    i.  Technology Development and Acquisition.  This category is for DON
activities demonstrating exceptional leadership and/or innovation in 
developing energy technologies or contract management.  Energy technologies 
must have a functioning prototype that significantly impacts the lethality or 
operational range of a platform or weapon system and be capable of being 
tested in a field operating environment.  Contract management practices must 
have the potential to significantly improve energy resilience on a Service-
wide level.
