An unreliable person will never be promoted. Reliability also has intrinsic value from the knowledge that one is trusted by others.
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. 27, 2014) -- The U.S. Army is testing systems to improve how fuel is monitored and tracked across the battlefield, officials said. Scott Nielsen, a project engineer with the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, said the current system for fuel accountability and visibility in a tactical environment has areas in need of improvement. The Army stores fuel in large collapsible tanks, with capacities up to 210,000 gallons that can be connected to create a storage and distribution system point holding more than one million gallons. To determine the fuel system's volume, Soldiers use a level string and yardstick to measure the tank's height that corresponds to a strapping chart. Each height increment corresponds to a specific volume. Collapsible tank systems, which have been used since the late 1970s, present challenges in accurately determining the volume, Nielsen said. Several factors can introduce errors: temperature variances are not accounted for, tanks may
