What is the capacity of the pump in the Forward Area Refueling Equipment (FARE-2)?

The Forward Area Refueling Equipment (FARE-2) is designed to facilitate rapid refueling operations in forward positions, enhancing operational flexibility and efficiency for ground and aerial units. The pump capacity of 100 gallons per minute (GPM) is specifically chosen to ensure that refueling can occur swiftly and effectively under battlefield conditions, allowing support for aircraft, ground vehicles, and other equipment that require timely refueling to maintain operational readiness.

The 100 GPM rate strikes a balance between rapid fluid transfer and the manageable size and weight of the equipment, making it practical for deployment in forward areas where space may be restricted, and operational tempo is critical. This capacity allows for sustained operations without significant downtime, supporting the overarching goals of large-scale combat operations.
