On 01FEB2023, the U.S. Marines Corps’ Combat Logistics Battalion 8-Combat Logistics Regiment 2-2nd Marine Logistics Group conducted diesel fuel collection at silly-vilian (civilian) fuel stations in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

The idea is to create a stockpile of diesel fuel (fuel cache) for a combat operations center and basecamp operations specifically for engineer units.

The diesel fuel cache (stockpile), sourced from silly-vilian fuel stations, is located at an undisclosed location on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The USMC would say only that the civilian diesel fuel stockpiling operation was “a test”!  Combat Logistics Battalion 8 has a Facebook page, but I didn’t see anything about this civilian fuel sourcing operation on it.
