In the developed theater, an existing petroleum distribution system is normally operating in support of the peacetime civilian economy and military forces. However, to support the tactical situation it may be necessary to modify the present system, renovate old facilities, or build new ones. Whenever possible, active duty US Army personnel should be trained to operate existing distribution systems. Tanker Loading and Unloading Facilities Existing tanker loading and unloading facilities in a developed theater may require supplemental facilities. These facilities may include tanker moorings, wharfs, docks, mooring buoys, shore booster and transfer pump stations, and storage tanks.
