An Empirical Evaluation of Air Force Field Feeding with Recommendations for a New System
Abstract
The report documents proceedings and findings of the project to design, develop, and evaluate a field feeding system for Air Force Forward Bases which would minimize manpower requirements while providing near garrison-level service. Phase I reported herein consisted of an empirical study of Air Force Field Feeding Systems at seven field exercises in the U.S. and at overseas locations. At the conclusion of this phase, three food service concepts were presented to the Air Force as viable options, including in all-electric concept, a modified Harvest Bare concept and a new Harvest Eagle concept. The Air Force selected the new Harvest Eagle as the preferred concept. During Phase 2 of the project, also included in this report, a prototype of this concept was assembled and readied for testing. A later report presents the findings of the field evaluations of the prototype and a third report is an instructional manual for the erection and operation of the system.
