 Inside the Air Force's Largest Fuel Farm in Fight vs. ISIS

Military.com | 19 Aug 2017 | by Oriana Pawlyk

The 380th Air Expeditionary Wing's fuel farm -- which houses 25 fuel bladders outdoors in the sweltering desert heat -- offloaded 255 million gallons of fuel in 2016 to refuel tankers such as the KC-10 Extender, fighters and even drones.
