Marines with 2nd Platoon, Bulk Fuel Company, 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, practice inserting a basset pump into the ocean during a set-up of the Amphibious Assault Fuel System aboard Camp Pendleton, April 3, 2014. The AAFS allows for the receiving, storage, and distribution of 1.3-million gallons of fuel. This system uses a five-mile collapsible hose system to transport the fuel from a ship at sea to the units on shore. The basset pump would connect to the fuel hose from a ship at sea, and ensure that only fuel is in the hose before it reaches the pump onshore. The entire system consists of a vast layout of 33 fuel bladders, each holding 20,000 to 50,000 gallons of fuel. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Keenan Zelazoski/ Released)
