Bulk Fuel Storage and Delivery System Infrastructure for Yakima Training Center, Washington
Abstract
This report is the first in a series that addresses the accuracy and reliability of maintenance, repair, environmental, and construction requirements for bulk fuel storage and delivery systems infrastructure. In 1991, Program Budget Decision 735 authorized the transfer of military construction (MILCON) funding authority to the Defense Logistics Agency for bulk fuel infrastructure on military installations. Actual transfer of the funding responsibilities, however, has been managed in phases. The period from 1993 through 1996 was characterized by very low fuel-related DoD MILCON expenditures. Low levels of funding over an extended period precipitated infrastructure deterioration to the point where environmental issues became a concern. Additionally, the U.S. has changed from a forward-deployed force to one based largely in the continental United States. Therefore, DoD needs an enhanced en route refueling infrastructure to support deployment of U.S. Forces worldwide to meet requirements of a two major theatre war strategy. Consequently, demand for MILCON and maintenance, repair, and environmental projects supporting fuel infrastructure is growing.
