Step 3 -- The consumption factors X the usage factors X quantities.
MG: 0.0373 X 100 = 3.73 gallons X 4 = 15 gallons
3.5 X 12 = 42 gallons X 2 = 84 gallons
Diesel: 5.0 X 12 = 60 gallons X 5 = 300 gallons
c. Combat Profile Method is only used for "combat tracked" vehicles. Because of its weight and size, a
tracked vehicle consumes fuel at different rates based on its mode of operation. This method is similar to the
equipment consumption method. The consumption is determined by knowing what the consumption rate is in
each mode and how many hours it will operate in that mode.
(1) Table 2-12 gives consumption rates per hour in each mode.
(2) Usage rates are obtained from Table 2-14 or given by the commander.
