Military institutions, as the guards of national security, have to consider limited energy resources and dependence on foreign resources while planning the resources.

In this study, countries which place major emphasis on energy while planning defense resources and adapt innovative methods to develop defense systems and modernization are examined in detail. It is aimed to reveal the significance of alternative energy resources and present different methods to ensure energy sustainability in DRM.
