FORT DRUM, N.Y. — The military is implementing changes to improve the dining experience for its personnel by offering delicious and nutritious meals. The aim is to divert them from fast food options.
The soft opening of a new dining facility at the Fort Drum Army base showcased the commitment to this initiative. Soldiers now order from touchscreen kiosks, selecting dishes like grilled salmon, steak, and flatbreads. In the background, blenders create protein shakes in flavors such as ‘Apple Pie’ and ‘Cookies and Cream.’
Sides offered include red potatoes and cauliflower, presented in modern, stylish pots. This focus on healthier, tastier options reflects a broader effort to enhance the nutritional value of meals served to military personnel.
