What do you know about Logistics?

The Fuels Management Flight is contracted through Defense Logistics Agency-Energy, but the responsibility still lies with the 14th LRS to act as the Contracting Officer’s Representative. You’ll see the “big green trucks” whenever the flight line is open. The fuels credo is to provide “clean, dry fuel” to the aircraft, meaning no foreign particulates that could clog the fuel lines or any liquid that may freeze and do the same. These fuels professionals also receive and store the fuel prior to issuing it to the aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Scott Schlosser)

What do you know about Logistics?

The Vehicle Management Flight works closely with ground transportation as well as each unit’s Vehicle Control Officer to ensure proper accountability and maintenance of the base vehicle fleet. They are responsible for monitoring official use, mileage, rotation and vehicle refueling activities. The Automotive Service Excellence certified technicians work diligently to keep the diverse fleet on the road. There’s also a refueler maintenance section that specifically works with Olgoonik Federal, the fuels contractor, to ensure they can keep our aircraft flying.

What do you know about Logistics?

The distribution element is responsible for coordinating personal property moves, so when you are going through a permanent change of station, you’ll be visiting the Traffic Management Office to assist you. This element also receives and sends equipment and supplies into and out of the base, most notably T-38C Talon aircraft parts and engines. The distribution of assets on the installation is accomplished by ground transportation’s material handling and heavy equipment operators, who also provide passenger transportation to our pilots as well as distinguished visitors.
