429th BSB fuel handlers assembly supply point at Fort Pickett
Soldiers from the South Boston-based Company A, 429th Brigade Support Battalion, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team assemble a Fuel System Supply Point April 6, 2013, at Fort Pickett. The FSSP consists of six 20,000 gallon fuel bags with various size distribution and suction hoses. The engineer section of the Fort Pickett Department of Public Works constructed the containment berms during their March drill weekend, and Soldiers from Company A added the necessary liners, fuel bags and other assorted accessories to complete the FSSP during April drill. The Fort Pickett DPW and Environmental Section acquired between 100,000 and 150,000 gallons of leftover diesel fuel at no cost from the old Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and Soldiers from Company A will haul the fuel during their annual training in June. The estimated savings from the acquired fuel for Fort Pickett is approximately $500,000. (Photo by Cotton Puryear, Virginia National Guard Public Affairs)
