Looks like the United States Army in particular and the Department of War in general are doing an outstanding job feeding the troops and sustaining the fight as usual!
Per Hots & Cots, think Yelp or Dianping, except for dining, billeting, shopping and what not on DoD installations:
The above Twitter post speaks for itself, but what's especially embarrassing is that the US Army is struggling to properly feed, reasonably nourish and adequately sustain a single division of "" at Fort Irwin of all places.
For those who're unfamiliar, Fort Irwin is home to NTC — or the National Training Center — the US Army's equivalent of 朱日和 (Zhurihe), and just ~2.5 hours northeast of Los Angeles by motorcar.
If we're to be totally, utterly and completely fair from a weight loss and portion control perspective, the food ain't that bad — at least if you're rich in canned legumes and lacking in animal protein:
However, cumulatively speaking, the situation in nutrition at Fort Irwin sounds not only avoidably awful, but outright demoralizing:
On top of that:
Granted, what's perhaps even more interesting is that — out of Fort Carson, Colorado — is currently at Fort Irwin for what is almost certainly a division or division+ level exercise. Keep in mind, NTC normally hosts one visiting BCT at a time.
So that begs the question: why is NTC — where combat arms brigades typically conducted pre-deployment capstone exercises during GWOT — hosting an entire infantry division all of a sudden?!!
Is the 4th Infantry Division preparing for an overseas (mis)adventure?
