JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii - Personnel in support of Joint Task Force-Red Hill (JTF-RH) connect a fuel line to merchant tanker Empire State, for the vessel’s second transfer of fuel from the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF) Oct. 23, 2023, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. 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.
