"The AFH team is already hard at work for the Air Force in Europe and is well prepared to provide premier bulk fuel services to these key Air Force installations in the Pacific,"
said Dan Mongeon, president and CEO of Agility DGS.
He added, "Agility is committed to providing global support to the Defense Logistics Agency and the DESC."
Under terms of the contracts awarded this week, AFH will operate U.S. government-owned storage tanks and equipment to provide fuel for flight-line refueling operations that are conducted by USAF personnel. The joint venture will handle receipt, storage, testing and issuing of bulk fuel products at Andersen, Kadena, Misawa, and Osan air bases. The performance period for the contracts runs from August 1st, 2008 to August 1st, 2013.
