• PACOM ( ) wished to establish significant
  participation via. India. We participated on 2
  advance teams to potential major fuel sources.
• EUCOM ( ) suggested new operating sites west
  of CENTCOMs area.
• New operating sites in pre-viously unexplored
  territory ( ).
• Afghanistan ( ) fueling points (Mazar-e-Sharif
  currently has minimal US involvement)

ADDITIVES

• DESC Provided Additives
• US Military Injected Additives At Receipt
  Locations
• USAF Assisted Other US Services Setting Up And
  Training
• No Commercially Additized Fuel Yet

32
ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• Established 26 contract awards providing fuel
  support directly to warfighter
• Expanded contractor fuel support beyond normal
  limits
• Established new HN fuel support agreements

Fuel Issued to Date
As of 1 Oct 2002
33
ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• Procured delivered over 360K gals of jet fuel
  additives
• Established effective long term relationships
  with new fuel suppliers
• Effective use of military civilian personnel

LESSONS ENDURED
35
Lessons Endured
DEPLOYMENT

• The en route stops changed
• 1003 sites designated for C-5/C-141 lifters
• Plans not updated to recognize C17 short legs
• Vague or no estimated fuel requirements
• Key bed-downs came to be places not ready or
  inherently difficult to support
• Need for strategic airlift refueling bases
• Aircraft arrived in AOR prior to POL support
  personnel

36
Lessons Endured
Military Commercial Integration

• From DESCs viewpoint as de facto integrator of
  civil/military capabilities
• U.S. military equipment held by Services ISO
  OPLANxx
• None released until after crises passed
• Services seek independent solutions
• Combatant Commander required to focus on minutiae
• U.S. military manpower not used (contra doctrine)
• DESC worked a scheme with JS to borrow military
  assets (e.g. 3d QM Detachment)
• End-to-end Supply chain - impossible to manage
• Untimely and poor visibility of US military and
  local commercial petroleum capabilities

37
Lessons Endured
Military Commercial Integration

• Establishing concept for HN capabilities database
• DIA interested in supportingbut not owning (too
  hard)
• Keeping information current a must
• Similar database needed for DOD tri-service
  capabilities and tactical equipment inventory

DLAs primary value is military-civil
integration. anyone can buy or sell
stuff!....Jeff Jones, Sep 02

Lessons Endured
Storage Distribution (SD)

• Need initial DOD POL logistics assessment team
• Host nation bed-down assessment
• Determine adequacy of commercial support
• Determine most efficient military system
  (people/equip)
• Customer SD right sized to mission resupply
• Current tactical storage unsafe constrained
• Off-loading must be extended to off-base (e.g.FP)
• Fuels reporting/accounting - untimely
  inaccurate
• Need for simplified centralized WRM equip release

39
Lessons Endured
Additives

• Need for pre-positioned additives in-theater
• Available within first 24-48 hours
• Managed by DESC?
• Service attained injection capability?
• Who manages resupply/redistribution of additives?

40
Lessons Endured
Quality

• Need for quick deployable and reliable
  Go or No-go fuel quality assessment
• Lack of initial deployable fuel sampling
  gauging
• Undeveloped end-to-end quality assessment tools
• Use of foreign fuels additives (e.g. Russian
  TS-1)
• Undefined role of military labs vs commercial
  labs
