Transportation truck units habitually engaged in the intersectional movement of petroleum products will normally be assigned to the petro- leum intersectional service (POLIS) to permit their complete integra- tion into the mission of supplying and distributing petroleum products. Technical inspection, review of technical reports on use of vehicles, and technical supervision of training pertaining to units assigned or attached to POLIS will be accomplished by appropriate Transportation Corps agencies. Transportation Corps truck companies will be utilized pri- marily for the wholesale movement of products. However, to preclude double handling, supplies will be moved directly from source to ultimate consumer whenever possible. The integrity of Transportation Corps units assigned or attached to POLIS will be maintained, and the units will be commanded by Transportation Corps officers.
