Study Notes
Bulk Truck Transports
- Bulk truck transports move fuel from terminals or corps area storage to the Service component direct support unit.
- Direct support units may be tasked to provide retail operations on an area support basis.
Expanding Distribution
- IPDS may be installed depending on the volume of requirements, the expected duration of the employment, and the type of operation.
- Other delivery means, operated either by military or commercial sources, such as tank trucks, barges, and aircraft, may be incorporated into the overall distribution system.
Airfield Operations
- Fuels support equipment required for initial support of airfield operations will be determined based on fuel support requirements, real estate availability, HNS, method of resupply, and other conditions.
Executing Joint Bulk Petroleum Operations
- DOD bulk petroleum inventories consist of PWRS and OS, and are sized to cover a range of military operations.
- Two key joint bulk petroleum reports are the REPOL and POLCAP.
- The bulk petroleum logistician must track key reports in the planning phase and review them in the execution phase.
Joint Bulk Petroleum Logistics Execution
- The established infrastructure within a theater supports the supply and distribution of bulk petroleum.
- Stocks are moved from secure military or commercial sources to forward areas and terminals, as demand or plans require.
Supply Chain
- The supply chain involves the CCMDs, Service components, and DLA Energy, interfacing with USTRANSCOM components for product movement outside the operational area.
- The expeditionary sustainment command Class III and water branch manages and accounts for theater bulk petroleum.
Military Construction, Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization
- DLA, through DLA Energy, establishes and maintains a DOD bulk petroleum distribution system and related programs in coordination with the Services and the CCMDs.
- The corresponding JPO should coordinate on SRM actions, DLA and Service-initiated MILCON affecting their AOR to ensure synchronization with contingency planning and execution.
