Pentagon finds fuel accounting flaws in Vietnam supply
A long Pentagon report notes that oil products shipped to terminals in Vietnam were often not reportable to recipients and thus not billable. In fiscal 1967 U S forces in South Vietnam received over 260 million gallons of ground fuel from Shell Esso and Caltex with jet fuel and lubricants also moved. The central issue is the distribution system’s failure to confirm delivery to combat units due to many forms, misused fields, and incorrect product descriptions.
