The primary objective of this paper is to explore the current status of electrical energy generation in the Arctic environment and identify possible materiel or interoperability solutions to increase the electrical energy self-sufficiency of tactical-size military units conducting distributed operations in the Norwegian High North. This exploration is undertaken by establishing a knowledge baseline of the Norwegian High North's political, geographical, military, and social considerations. Next, a model of explanation will be introduced using the NATO DOTMILPF-I framework to examine the problem statement. This is followed by examining current Marine Corps electrical energy generation solutions using recent training and exploring emerging technologies that could be used to increase tactical-size unit electrical energy self-sufficiency. The emerging technologies will focus primarily on using hydrogen as an energy carrier; however, other applications will also be considered.
