As DID noted in its March 17 article “Energy Conservation Moving Up Pentagon’s Agenda,” the truth is that the military can’t live without fuel, but every gallon of it is both a logistics burden and a financial burden.

The totals include $2.1 billion for diesel and jet fuel, $1.01 billion for turbine fuel, and $35.7 million for naval distillate. DID covers these contracts below:
