Which class includes POL (petroleum, oils, lubricants)?

• A. Class III Supply
• B. Class V Supply
• C. Class II of supply
• D. Class IX Supply

Answer: (A)

POL belongs to Class III Supply because this class covers bulk liquids used to operate and maintain equipment, including fuels and lubricants. It encompasses bulk petroleum, oils, and lubricants such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, motor oil, and hydraulic fluids that keep vehicles, generators, aircraft, and machinery running. This grouping keeps POL separate from other classes like ammunition (Class V) and repair parts (Class IX), and from clothing and individual equipment (Class II) or subsistence (Class I).
