Analysis of Off-Shore Fuel Handling Technology.

Abstract

This report describes the current Army method for delivery of bulk fuels over the shore in an undeveloped theater and details deficiencies in the system. Also described are programed improvements in the near term intended to correct certain deficiencies with regard to contingency planning requirements. The report discusses long term needs relative to off-shore fuel handling technology for the Army 21 concept of operations and outlines shortfalls in the system for meeting those needs. Several alternative concepts are proposed to alleviate shortfalls. Conclusions and recommendations are presented. Keywords: Supply-Class III; Bulk POL; Logistic support; Over-the-shore-logistics.
