Prior coursework not required. The book provides additional reading for those who wish to explore these topics further. Although many resources examine microgrids in depth, this is the first text aimed specifically at making the subject approachable within a military context. Chapter 11 highlights several recent examples of military microgrids and the processes behind their development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe authors hope this book encourages renewed attention to and investment in military microgrids as a means of enhancing energy resilience.
