Merchant tanker Torm Thunder conducts high level fuel alarm testing prior to receiving fuel from the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF) on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Oct. 26, 2023. The testing is conducted prior to filling the tanker, to ensure all alarms are operational, in order to prevent overfilling. This is part of JTF-RH’s multi-layered approach to reduce risk. JTF-RH is in the fifth and final phase of its defueling plan, where JTF-RH along with Defense Logistics Agency Energy and Fleet Logistics Center Pearl Harbor, are safely defueling the RHBFSF. This stage consists of defueling approximately 104 million gallons of fuel, with planned strategic pauses for safety checks, and transporting the fuel to various locations throughout the Pacific. JTF-RH continues to work in collaboration with state and federal regulators to ensure proper oversight throughout the defueling process. (DoD video by U.S. Army Sgt. Kyler Chatman)
