Bulk fuel support is a joint venture. While 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. The actual procedures used to provide bulk petroleum support to the Services will depend on conditions in the area of operations (AO); for example, a developed theater or an undeveloped theater. Bulk fuel operations should adhere to applicable environmental protection rules and regulations as contained in Marine Corps Order P5090.2A, Environmental Compliance and Protection Manual. In the absence of local regulations, guidance contained in Department of Defense (DOD) Publication 4715.5G, Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document, should be referenced.
