Southwest Region Fleet Transportation (SWRFT) is responsible for overseeing and providing commercial and vehicle transportation support, management of Garrison Mobile Equipment (GME) assignments, and GME maintenance services to all Marine Corps Installations and tenants in the Southwestern United States.

The Southwest Region Fleet Transportation (SWRFT) is a regional organization comprised of Garrison Mobile Equipment fleets located at seven Marine Corps Installations in California. These installations include Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego; Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, San Diego; Marine Corps Air Station, Camp Pendleton, San Diego; Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms; Marine Corps Logistics Base, Barstow; and Mountain Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport. The Fleet Managers at each of these locations comprise a team that is dedicated to reduce oil based fuel usage. The driving factors behind this united effort are to reduce air pollutants, reduce other transportation waste streams, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and increase the efficiency of each vehicle operated to support our mission. The goal of meeting these factors requires the SWRFT Team to identify, understand, and employ cutting edge technology and products along with proven alternative fueled vehicles which give them the best opportunity for success.

Procurement is determined by the types of vehicles available from the manufacturers.  In quite a few instances, requests for E85 and/or EVs were cancelled because the manufacturers could not provide the product.  MCAS Miramar Commercial Fleet.
