Personnel in support of Joint Task Force-Red Hill (JTF-RH) disconnect fuel lines from merchant tanker Yosemite Trader, completing the process of gravity draining the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF) flowable tank bottoms, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii Dec. 7, 2023. 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. Phase 5 defueling continues with unpacking the fuel pipelines, and removing residual fuel located in the surge lines and portions of the tank gallery. JTF-RH will complete its defueling mission at the end of Phase 5, which is projected to end no later than March 31, 2024. (DoD photo by U.S. Army Sgt. ZaBarr Jones)
