OPEN MEETING:Friday, May 21, 1993
prima facie case that raises a question with respect to the
adequacy of fuel replenishment at Plattsburgh?
MR. CIRILLO: Yes, sir. I'm going to turn that
over to Mr. Rick DiCamillo.
Rick?
MR. DICAMILLO: Mr. Chairman, the early
Page 704 of 880 Pages
indications from the opposing communities showed some
possible discrepancies or problems with the fuel capability
at Plattsburgh. In fact, the Air Force has recently
submitted some information to us that indicates there may be
a problem, and right now, this week, DLA, their fuel supply
center is investigating the situation, and we hope to hear
from them on various points of the fuel capacity.
One, how much capacity is there; two, is it
sufficient to handle the expected workload for a mobility
wing, both in peace time normal operations and in
contingency operations, as well as costs associated with
those factors.
COMMISSIONER MCPHERSON: And three, I hope,
whether it freezes up in the winter.
MR. DICAMILLO: Yes, sir. I'm sorry. The third
point is an alternate method of resupply other than barge,
which we know uses the canal, which freezes up five and-a
half months out of the year.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Let's say if they were at
Plattsburgh, and because it was in winter, and they drew
down the stocks on base and off site, what does it do to
mission response capabilities and mission performance if thePage 706 of 880 Pages
1 That would pose a problem, according to today's capacity at
2 Ft. Douglas, which is the fuel supply point for Plattsburgh.
3 MR. CIRILLO: The entire mobility base concept is
4 building so much that we're still striving to get some
5 information from the Air Force on what that is. Their
6 plans, as we understand it, are to come out with a white
7 paper that explains that principle as it fits into the
8 global power concepts. And they expect to have it later onDiversified Reporting Services, Inc. - (202) 296-292q

3 MR. DICAMILLC: They won't be able to refuel, if

5 CHAIRMAN COURTER: That's on base. I'm saying off
6 base, what it does to mission capabilities if planes take
7 off and land and refuel where there's plenty of fuel and go
8 on again.
9 MR. DICAMILLO: The air bridge can still be built
10 from any location that would be an onload point with
11 tankers. As a matter of fact, the KC-lOs would probably be
12 used extensively as air lifters, as well.
13 GEN JOHNSON: In essence, you establish another
14 mobility base?
15 MR. DICAMILLO: No, not another mobility base,
16 sir, but going, for example, to Pope, Ft. Bragg, for an
17 onload or Ft. Campbell and then proceeding overseas from
18 there, using tankers from any location within the CONUS to
19 form the air bridge to Europe or on the way to the Middle
20 East.

22 home station after on load, change crews, and refuel again.Q - I7r _r nom,
