MANCHESTER The military s largest gas station, located on the shores of south Kitsap County, is about to endure a test of its muster.
Next week, convoys of Army trucks based at Joint Base Lewis-McCord will converge at the Manchester Fuel Depot to practice its wartime mission, if ever called upon, of distributing fuel and water across the country. The Army s Quartermaster Logistics Liquid Excercise 2021, conducted by the Army Reserve annually, will begin this year at the Manchester depot, part of Naval Base Kitsap. They re gonna stage tankers, fuel them up, inspect them, and, once everybody s full, head out to the highway, said Brian Davis, a spokesman for the Naval Supply Systems Command.
