The US Air Force just completed an initiative to convert all of its bases from military-specific grade jet fuel to a civilian grade – Jet A with additives – that will save millions of dollars in annual fuel costs and allow the Air Force to purchase fuel from a much wider pool of suppliers. This major logistics simplification frees the Air Force from having to source its jet fuel from a limited number of military-specification-compliant vendors then ship it around the globe. The fuel can now be purchased from commercial sources located anywhere in the theater of operations.
