Interestingly the US military is investing heavily in solar, if only because it reduces the logistics tail of deployed units and reduces the overall attack surface (less resupply needed, fewer transports to be attacked) [0].
US military use of oil has also fallen compared with a few years ago because of reduced ground combat tempo in Afghanistan / Iraq.
They are still a massive oil user though, so a long way to go.
