HQ, USA Petroleum Depot, Ryukyu Islands

**HQ, USA Petroleum Depot, Ryukyu Islands** was established in the aftermath of World War II to support U.S. military operations in the Pacific Theater. Tasked with the storage, management, and distribution of fuel and lubricants, the unit played a critical logistical role during the occupation and rebuilding of Okinawa and surrounding islands. Throughout the late 1940s and into the Korean War, the depot ensured a steady flow of petroleum products to U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force units stationed in the region. Its efforts were vital for maintaining the operational readiness of American forces, supporting both peacetime garrisons and combat deployments in East Asia.
