The Logistic Support Department of China’s Central Military Commission (CMC) has recently issued two documents on the standards of petrol, oil and lubricants (POL) consumption, one for ships attached to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy and the People's Armed Police Force (PAP), the other for the military’s ground equipment. This marks that the military standard system on POL consumption has been preliminarily established.
近日，中央军委后勤保障部有关部门印发《海军、武警部队舰艇油料消耗标准》和《军队地面装备油料消耗标准 》。中国军队油料消耗标准体系初步建立。
An official in charge introduced that the standard is the basis for assessing the troop's POL savings and calculating the POL supply for combat readiness training missions. Since 2016, relevant departments have been revising and standardizing the POL consumption standards and the POL basic unit quantities for all types of military equipment.
“油料消耗标准，是考核部队油料节约和测算战备训练任务油料保障需求的基本依据。”中央军委后勤保障部相关负责人介绍，2016年以来，有关部门对我军各型用油装备耗油标准、油料基数量等进行修订和规范，对加快构建现代军事物流体系，适应实战化军事训练、装备更新换代和强化部队油料管理需要有重要意义。
The new standard system covers all weapons and equipment commissioned in recent years, including the ships of the army and the air force, aircraft (helicopters), vessels and ground equipment of the Navy and the PAP, and various ground equipment. The system applies to all the PLA and PAP troops.
新的标准体系涵盖近年入列的所有武器装备，包括陆军、空军船艇，飞机（直升机），海军和武警部队舰艇，地面装备等，适用于改革重塑后所有军兵种和武警部队，以及不同类型部队考核油料节约和测算战备训练任务油料保障需求。
The new standard system also highlights the actual needs of military equipment upgrades and combat readiness training support. Based on normalized task training and the year-on-year increased POL consumption requirements, relevant departments will promptly adjust the corresponding equipment standards to realize standardized POL support and supply management.
新的标准体系突出适应部队装备更新换代、战备训练保障实际需要。结合任务训练常态化、油料消耗逐年上升、油料消耗规律发生变化等实际，有关部门适时调整相应的装备油料消耗标准，确保实现标准化油料保障和规范化供应管理。
