GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Situation. The Department of Defense (DOD)
mandates each service establish an SCP for bulk petroleum
management. Historically, the Marine Corps relied on the Naval
Petroleum Office (NPO) to fulfill this requirement. With the Marine
Corps’ divesture from the NPO, DC IL signed reference (a) to ensure
compliance with reference(b).
2. Mission. To announce the formal establishment of the Marine Corps
Petroleum Office (MCPO) and the SCP under the ADC IL (LF) within
MCICOM G-4.
3. Execution.
3.A. Commander’s Intent. The goal of the MCPO/SCP is to centralize
bulk fuel management while enhancing operational readiness,
improving accountability, and driving advancements in environmental
compliance, infrastructure modernization, and interagency
coordination.
3.B. Concept of Operations. Effective upon the release of this
MARADMIN, ADC LF will:
3.B.1. Execute a phased implementation plan to ensure an organized
transition to full operational capability, including:
3.B.1.A. Phase 1 (Within 15 Days): Conduct Troop-to-Task (T2T)
analysis, identify staffing gaps, and assess funding allocations
through a Marine Corps Program Code (MCPC) analysis.
3.B.1.B. Phase 2 (Within 30 Days): Finalize a Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) between MCICOM and Commander, Navy Installations
Command (CNIC) for SCP support and begin staffing MCPO with four
full-time employees transferred from the Naval Petroleum Office.
3.B.1.C. Phase 3 (Initial Operational Capability): Secure personnel,
resources, and office space at Naval Support Facility (NSF)
Arlington, ensuring operational continuity with external agencies.
3.B.1.D. Phase 4 (Full Operational Capability): Develop a transition
plan to ensure MCPO reaches full staffing and operational
independence.
3.B.2. Update policies and procedures for bulk fuel management to
align with this organizational change and disseminate updates to
stakeholders.
3.B.3. Standardize training for fuel management personnel to ensure
long-term sustainability and effectiveness.
3.B.4. Further implementation guidance for MCPO/SCP is available at
https:(slash)(slash)usmc.sharepoint-mil.us.mcas.gov.us(slash) sites
(slash)mcicom_g4_ss(slash)FIM(slash)SitePages(slash)MPCO
3.C. Tasks. The MCPO/SCP will:
3.C.1. Serve as the centralized authority for bulk fuel and fuel
infrastructure management, including policy development and
operational guidance.
3.C.2. Align Marine Corps fuel operations with DOD Joint Force
standards by coordinating with DOD entities such as the Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA).
3.C.3. Manage capitalized and non-capitalized fuel infrastructure,
ensuring efficient and sustainable operations across the Marine
Corps fuel supply chain.
4. Logistics and Administration. The guidance in this MARADMIN will
be incorporated into reference (c) for long-term policy alignment.
