James Capps, information technology facilities manager, Marine Corps Installations East-Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, converses with a coworker as part of an energy resilience and readiness exercise at Marine Corps Air Station New River, Jacksonville, North Carolina, May 5, 2026. The exercise tested not only the resiliency of the infrastructure to support operations without commercial energy, but the resiliency of the uniformed and civilian personnel who live and work on the air station.
