Marines from the 7th Separate Bulk Fuel Company are pictured setting up a gas station in close proximity to a combat zone during the Vietnam War. They are responsible for pumping an average of fifteen hundred gallons of gasoline daily to Marine vehicles supporting Operation Pipestone Canyon. The operation involves ferreting out enemy troops from caves and bunkers on Goi Noi Island. The photograph, taken by Sgt. Bruce Chertkow, showcases the logistics and mobility required for efficient refueling in a war zone.
