4. 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)
35. 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. 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. 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
38. 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 S&D 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. 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. 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
