Distribution Systems, Petroleum & Water

Distribution Systems Petroleum & Water, is aimed at supporting the Army's mission and modernization efforts by providing bulk fuel and water supply during Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) to all Department of Defense (DoD) forces deployed globally. The program supports various Cross Function Teams (CFTs) including Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF), Next Generation Combat Vehicles (NGCV), Air and Missile Defense (AMD), and Future Vertical Lift (FVL). It includes the procurement of various distribution systems such as hoses, pumps, tanks, filter separators, fittings, couplings, and nozzles. The program also involves the replacement of aging equipment such as the Water Buffalo with the Water Bison and the Tank Pump Unit (TPU) with the Mobile Tactical Retail Refueling System (MTRRS).

The specific objectives of this program are to enhance the Army's capability to distribute and issue retail and bulk petroleum and water efficiently and safely on the battlefield. This funding supports a balanced investment strategy to support the Army's approved force structure, Regionally Aligned Readiness, and Multi-Domain Operations for Active, National Guard, and Reserve Components. Additionally, it aims to provide highly mobile and self-sustaining equipment to hostile theaters of operation in line with the Army's 2030 requirement. The program also aligns with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act by providing necessary resources for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and military support to civil authorities.
