The Camp Edwards Experiment in Battalion Level Consolidated Field Feeding

Abstract

The results of a field feeding experiment demonstrated that a new consolidated feeding system (designated XM-75) operating at the battalion level can reduce the number of cooks and K.P.'s by 45% and 61%, respectively, when compared to company level kitchens. The experimental system included new food preparation equipment, electrically powered labor savings devices, new modular shelters and new sanitation equipment. A significant improvement in the performance of the system was achieved. However, further testing is recommended to refine the kitchen design and prove a new distribution concept.
