The mission of the Basic Petroleum Logistics Division (BPLD) is to train soldiers and Marines to meet the worldwide petroleum requirements for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps. Our course consists of ten weeks, one days of extensive hands on training on Army and Marine petroleum related equipment. Within this curriculum, we train sampling and gauging, military pipeline operations, accountability, tank vehicle operations, and sling loading. Two training sites make up the BPLD training area; Military in the Field (MIF) and the Petroleum Training Facility (PTF).

Course Description:

Our course consists of ten weeks, one days of extensive hands-on training (75 percent) on U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps petroleum-related equipment. Within this curriculum, we train over 3,500 soldiers and marines annually.

During the training phase for the students, they are given extensive classroom and hands-on exposure to the equipment they will be operating at their permanent duty stations. This gives the students experience, knowledge, and confidence in their abilities for the day-to-day operations they will be handling upon graduation.

The training subjects are covered in both classroom and a hands-on environment and include the following areas: Petroleum Supply Operations, Environmental Standards and Spill Contingency, Safety, Health Hazards, Fire Fighting and First Aid, Gravity and Visual Examination of Petroleum Products, Gauging and Sampling, Accountability, Aircraft Refueling Operations, Fuel System Supply Point Equipment and Operations, Petroleum Pipeline Equipment and Maintenance, Sling Load Operations, Operation of various Petroleum Fueling Vehicles, ROM and Railcars, Waterfront Operations, and Introduction to Marine Corps Bulk Fuel System.
