Army Enlisted Petroleum Supply Specialist

March 28, 2008 By admin

Everything that moves that is a piece of equipment in the Army arsenal has something that powers it, and most things run on some sort of petroleum fuel. As an Army Petroleum Specialist you will be assigned to deal with the proper supply and storage of petroleum based fuels. Trucks, Tanks, Aircraft, and Watercraft as well as other Army vehicles are powered on oil and gas, and other specialty fuels. They can’t run without a supply of fuel, and the training needed to care and properly deal with these fuels is what an Army Petroleum Supply specialist is all about. Petroleum Supply Specialists in the Army deal with all types of fuels including compressed gases. Each different type of fuel requires a different type of storage to care for it properly. The Army Petroleum Fuel specialist deals with supervising and managing the storage, reception and shipping of packaged and bulk petroleum based products.

As an Army Enlisted Petroleum Supply specialist you will be responsible for:
-Dispensing bulk fuel and water from distribution and storage container sites.
-Testing Fuel and Oil for pollutants.
-Preparing shipping and storage records.
-Moving and storage of petroleum products that are packaged using forklifts.
-Connecting valves, hoses and pumps to load airplanes, tanker trucks railroad cars and ships.
