FLEET CARD- FUEL ON THE MOVE

About:

• Availability of Fleet Card will permit the convoy to refuel at any IOCL fuel station thus increasing the pace of movement and reducing the lead time for readiness at operational locations across the nation.
  
  
• Personnel and other resources which are now involved in fuel management within the IAF can now be re-allocated towards other operational tasks.
  
  
• This in line with the Shekatkar Committee recommendations of improving the Teeth to Tail ratio with the armed forces.
  
  
• The ‘Fleet Card’ was launched by IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal V.R. Chaudhari at Headquarters Western Air Command, Subroto Park. The headquarters was earmarked as lead agency in the implementation and execution of the “Fuel on Move” concept.
