The US army was feeding a lot of troops using MRE and Tray rations during the first Gulf war and there were found in the Brigade Service Area behind the front line. There are only four MKT per mechanized infantry brigade.
In the game setting, you see makeshift kitchens with whatever army or civilians cooking. You will also see bakeries and maybe a few small kitchens specialized in certain tasks, IE meat cooking, smoking, etc.
You might still have MRE but like other foods stock, they would most likely armed guards with orders to shoot looters.
it would interesting to see how units address the large logestics of feed. You need plates, mugs, glasses, knife forks spoons, pots and pans ect
While the US army has some of thses where are you going spare or spare parts for cooking systems.
Food for Thought lol |
When I deployed in 2003 we spent the first eight months eating nothing but MRE's, then the cooks finally set up the MKT's for the next couple, after that they had mess halls built. We were a separate battalion (Core Wheeled) and had one MKT per company, at that time there were only two units like mine in the US Army, so not sure if we were a hold over TOE, or what. As for the Plates, mugs and that each soldier had there personal mess kit and canteen cup (not that we used them we used disposable at the MKT, and they had stuff at the mess hall).
