This PAMPHLET provides logistics planning guidance for fuels planners to aid in establishing petroleum support capabilities at locations other than US Air FORCE main operating bases.

9 Basic Fuels logistics planning . The Air FORCE must maintain the ability to deploy rapidly and effectively to a variety of base environments ranging from bare bases to fully equipped, international airports. Once in place, US forces must be able to operate with the full spectrum of fuels support. A bare- base must have a runway, taxiway, and parking area adequate for the deployed FORCE and an adequate source of water that can be made potable. Developed foreign military or civilian airfields may be comparable to true bare-base operations because of inadequate real estate and access to a runway. Deploying forces to these locations must prepare to support themselves as in a real bare-base environment.

10 Experience has shown that fuels personnel at all levels may be required to provide fuels logistics planning to support exercises or real-world contingencies. While these persons may have little experience in the planning process, they are nevertheless expected to perform in field conditions, with limited technical supervision and communications. This publication provides basic guidance for managing the use of logistic resources and for ensuring that critical phases of the fuels planning process are not overlooked. It does not preclude the need to use other directives and technical orders. Information contained in this PAMPHLET should help you analyze mission requirements and allocate resources to develop an effective and efficient support package.
