EXAMPLE 1: Compute the fuel requirement for one day of operation given the following information:
SOLUTION 1: Find consumption rate: Table 2-13, page 2-37 = 0.2672 gallons/Km
0.2672 X 100 X 2 = 53 gallons diesel fuel
53 X 2.5 X 1.2 X 0.9 = 143 gallons
EXAMPLE 2: Compute the fuel requirement for one day of operation given the following information:
Combat Condition: Defense
Terrain: Mountains
Climate: Cold
SOLUTION 2: Find consumption rates:

Table 2-13, page 2-31 = 114.5 gallons/hr
114.5 X 3 X 7 = 2,405 gallons
2,405 X 1.5 X 1.5 X 1.3 = 7,035 gallons
