Airmen at Manas AB, Kyrgyzstan, set a couple of fuel records this fall, according to the current Ganci Gazette. Airmen of the 376th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants Flight, received a record amount of fuel—some 7.256 million gallons—in October, setting a new monthly record for the main transit facility for operations in Afghanistan. That same month, they also set a one-day delivered record of 356,000 gallons.
Defense industry leaders say the Air Force needs to be able to update the software on its munitions multiple times a day, not every few months, and a new Pentagon instruction released last week could enable that.
