INTRODUCTION
Since machines were first introduced to the battlefield, military leaders depended on continual sources
of petroleum to power these machines. In fact, throughout the many wars of the 20th century, battles
and wars have been won and lost based on who controls the fuel. As military weapon systems have
become more lethal, they have also become vast consumers of petroleum fuels. In fact, a single U.S.
Army mechanized infantry division of today uses over a million gallons of fuel in a single day during
offensive operations. Our mission as Army petroleum leaders is to feed the ravenous hunger of our
mighty war machine. It is important to make every attempt to protect the environment while still
accomplishing this mission. As such, you must conduct an environmental assessment before beginning
fuel operations. The unit environmental
