apoleon said, “An army marches on its stomach.” But Napoleon said that before there
was power generation equipment.
The Army you serve in not only moves but does hundreds of things because of gener-
ated power.
It is generated power that launches missiles.
It is generated power that sees missiles coming your way.
It is generated power that keeps commo shelters humming.
It is generated power that directs your fire to silence the enemy.
It is generated power that lights your tent and lets you write that letter home to your
sweetheart.
It is generated power that lets you read late at night that letter from your sweetheart
so you can finally fall asleep.
It is generated power that lets you use electrical equipment on the battlefield.
The question, “Where were
you when the lights went
out?” is really the question
“Where were you when your
power generation equipment
failed?”
The answer: in the sights of
the enemy.
Preventive maintenance on
generators is not optional. A
generator that has not had PM
is a generator that is doomed
to fail.
A failed generator makes
you a Napoleonic soldier fight-
ing a 21st Century enemy.
Where
Were
You
When the
Lights
Went Out?
uh-
oh!
we’re
powerless
against our
enemy!
