Audit of U.S. Air Force Government-Owned, Government‑Operated Aviation Bulk Fuel Facilities Within South Korea (Report No. DODIG-2025-167)

/ Published Sept. 25, 2025

The objective of this audit was to assess the effectiveness of the DoD’s efforts to maintain the required quantities and quality of maritime and aviation fuel stored in DoD land-based bulk fuel storage facilities within the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility. 

We determined that the DoD’s efforts, executed by DLA Energy and Air Force personnel, to maintain the required quantities of JP-8 fuel were effective. Specifically, DLA Energy Korea and the four Air Force DFSPs in South Korea generally maintained the required quantities of JP-8 fuel.
