MCRP 3-40B.5 Petroleum Operations 1-1 CHAPTER 1 FUNDAMENTALS Petroleum operations make up one of the greatest quantities of supply required by the Marine airground task force (MAGTF) to conduct modern warfare. As petroleum requirements rise above individual or small unit needs, it becomes necessary to handle them in "bulk" form. Bulk handling calls for special equipment, product handling safeguards, and standing operating procedures (SOPs). Permanent facilities are often used at bases, camps, and air stations. However, deploying MAGTFs require special expeditionary systems, such as the tactical fuel systems. Bulk fuel support is a joint venture and bulk fuel management for joint operations is the ultimate responsibility of the joint force commander (JFC). Each Service is responsible for support of its forces and any other missions assigned by the JFC.
