This role of collapsible hose is used to transport, fuel from a ship at sea to the units on shore, using the Amphibious Assault Fuel System. Each section of hosing can be connected to another, stretching a distance up to five miles. Marines with Bulk Fuel Company, 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, constructed an AAFS system using the hose aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., April 1-11, 2014. This system used three and a half miles of hosing to transport the fuel throughout the exercise site. The AAFS allows for the receiving, storage, and distribution of 1.3-million gallons of fuel. It consists of a vast layout of 33 fuel bladders, each holding 20,000 to 50,000 gallons of fuel, placed inside six-foot tall earth berms as a safety measure to contain any spillage should a bladder rupture.
