What's inside:

This FM establishes Army field feeding and Class I distribution doctrine and provides the "how to" as defined in FM 100-10. This edition incorporates changes resulting from the "AFFS-F" study and field trials. It also contains Class I distribution initiatives resulting from the Army’s "Total Distribution Study." This includes ongoing developmental efforts to automate Class I request and issue functions in the field. It provides guidance for commanders, FSOs, Class I officers, food advisors, senior/chief food operations management NCOs, FOSs, supply specialists performing a subsistence mission and cooks. Guidance from other manuals has been incorporated to provide comprehensive information in one document. Units may operate effectively with older equipment or that shown herein. The AFFS is already fielded. AFFS-F begins fielding in FY 1995. Class I automation is expected to begin in FY 1996. Fielding of modularly configured theater distribution activities will begin once concept development has been completed.

ORGANIZATION AND COVERAGE

This manual is divided into six parts. Part One covers the general responsibilities of food service and Class I personnel and the rations and menus used in Army field feeding. Part Two deals with operations planning and Part Three deals with AFFS equipment. Part Four discusses safety and sanitation. Part Five covers NBC operations and Part Six covers training.

USER INFORMATION

The commander must be actively involved in the Class I/food service program to benefit from it. An involved and supportive commander soon realizes that this seemingly small portion of his responsibilities plays a major role in the daily morale and productivity of his soldiers.
