DODD 4140.25 prescribes that jet propulsion–8 (JP–8), a kerosene-based jet fuel, be designated as the primary fuel for land-based air and ground forces in all theaters of operation including outside continental United States (OCONUS) and continental United States (CONUS) locations. Fuel type JP–8 is designated as the SFP fuel.

The SFP fuel (JP–8)will be used during the research, development, testing, and evaluation of materiel. This applies to Army activities that design, develop, operate, modify, test, or evaluate materiel and includes fuel storage and distribution equipment that will be used in tactical and combat operations.

New weapon systems, support equipment, vehicles, and fuel consuming materiel will be designed to allow full
performance using the SFP fuel (JP–8) and will achieve acceptable operational performance using other alternate or
emergency fuels as identified in table 2–1 when the SFP fuel (JP–8) is not available.

Turbine-powered aircraft will be designed to operate on fuel type JP–8.

MATDEVs will ensure that materiel procured as commercial off-the-shelf will operate on fuel type JP–8.

In accordance with DODD 4140.25, the primary fuel in all theaters will be fuel type JP–8.
