It runs from Aug. 11 to Aug. 25 and involves 200 soldiers with the 61st Quartermaster Battalion, according to an Army <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/287792\/army_pilots_program_for_expanded_meal_entitlement_use\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/287792\/army_pilots_program_for_expanded_meal_entitlement_use\">release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program is an effort to provide dining options that fit the modern soldier\u2019s eating habits, the service said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve expected Soldiers in barracks to follow the same eating patterns that we have maintained for decades,\u201d Lt. Gen. Chris Mohan, Army Materiel Command deputy commanding general, said in the release. Mohan is responsible for the Army Food program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve expected soldiers to figure it out. We were swinging behind the pitch and failing them. We are on the cusp of totally changing that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mohan said today\u2019s soldiers want flexible dining options, including being able to eat later than many of the facilities are open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2000\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/soldier-starbucks.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/soldier-starbucks.jpg.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/soldier-starbucks.jpg.jpg?resize=225,300 225w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/soldier-starbucks.jpg.jpg?resize=768,1024 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/soldier-starbucks.jpg.jpg?resize=1152,1536 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, participate in the Army&#8217;s test for the Flexible Eating and Expanded Dining, or FEED, initiative. (Lacey Reinoehl\/Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the pilot, soldiers have a number of choices. Special menu items approved by food service experts and dietitians are available for purchase at restaurants such as Subway, Starbucks, Freshens, Qdoba and Burger King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers in the pilot program will be able to purchase breakfast, lunch and dinner on a single visit, swiping their Common Access Card once for each meal type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FEED program is one of several initiatives the Army has created to support campus-style dining. Other options include installation dining, grab-and-go kiosks, food trucks and bistros, a growing meal prep program and a campus-style dining venue pilot that will change the existing dining facility model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pilot is testing functionality but will also give developers a look at soldier preferences, Rick Bennett, senior logistics management specialist for AMC\u2019s Food Innovation and Transformation Division, said in the Army release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s about accessibility. If a soldier can\u2019t make it to a dining facility, that soldier now has somewhere to go to get a meal without forfeiting their entitlements,\u201d Bennett said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen soldiers pass up that benefit and that entitlement every single day, we fail them. We are changing that. It\u2019s imperative that the Army gets this right. Our goal is to ensure that soldiers remain the best-sustained, best fed and fittest fighting force in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In part, the program allows
