Establishment of the Marine Corps Petroleum Office and Service Control Point

1. Situation. The Department of Defense (DOD) 
mandates each service establish an SCP for bulk petroleum 
management. Historically, the Marine Corps relied on the Naval 
Petroleum Office (NPO) to fulfill this requirement. With the Marine 
Corps' divesture from the NPO, DC IL signed reference (a) to ensure 
compliance with reference(b).
2. Mission. To announce the formal establishment of the Marine Corps 
Petroleum Office (MCPO) and the SCP under the ADC IL (LF) within 
MCICOM G-4.
3. Execution.
3.A. Commander's Intent. The goal of the MCPO/SCP is to centralize 
bulk fuel management while enhancing operational readiness, 
improving accountability, and driving advancements in environmental 
compliance, infrastructure modernization, and interagency 
coordination.
3.B. Concept of Operations. Effective upon the release of this 
MARADMIN, ADC LF will:
3.B.1. Execute a phased implementation plan to ensure an organized 
transition to full operational capability, including:
3.B.1.A. Phase 1 (Within 15 Days): Conduct Troop-to-Task (T2T) 
analysis, identify staffing gaps, and assess funding allocations 
through a Marine Corps Program Code (MCPC) analysis.
3.B.1.B. Phase 2 (Within 30 Days): Finalize a Memorandum of 
Agreement (MOA) between MCICOM and Commander, Navy Installations 
Command (CNIC) for SCP support and begin staffing MCPO with four 
full-time employees transferred from the Naval Petroleum Office.
3.B.1.C. Phase 3 (Initial Operational Capability): Secure personnel, 
resources, and office space at Naval Support Facility (NSF) 
Arlington, ensuring operational continuity with external agencies.
3.B.1.D. Phase 4 (Full Operational Capability): Develop a transition 
plan to ensure MCPO reaches full staffing and operational 
independence.
3.B.2. Update policies and procedures for bulk fuel management to 
align with this organizational change and disseminate updates to 
stakeholders.
3.B.3. Standardize training for fuel management personnel to ensure 
long-term sustainability and effectiveness.
3.B.4. Further implementation guidance for MCPO/SCP is available at

3.C. Tasks. The MCPO/SCP will:
3.C.1. Serve as the centralized authority for bulk fuel and fuel 
infrastructure management, including policy development and 
operational guidance.
3.C.2. Align Marine Corps fuel operations with DOD Joint Force 
standards by coordinating with DOD entities such as the Defense 
Logistics Agency (DLA).
3.C.3. Manage capitalized and non-capitalized fuel infrastructure, 
ensuring efficient and sustainable operations across the Marine 
Corps fuel supply chain.
4. Logistics and Administration. The guidance in this MARADMIN will 
be incorporated into reference (c) for long-term policy alignment.
5. Command and Signal.
