DLA relays the information to their vendors around the world, and they begin ordering products for the meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While DLA can\u2019t provide specific numbers of items sent to specific regions, all Navy ships, including those deployed to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility, received their Thanksgiving provisions by the end of October, according to a spokesman for the Defense Logistics Agency. A number of the ships in that area will soon get fresh produce and bakery items from Puerto Rico to supplement their frozen holiday items, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National Guard troops deployed to locations within the U.S. are also getting their holiday meals at those locations. \u201cDLA is tracking that all menu items are projected to be satisfied in full prior to Thanksgiving,\u201d the spokesman said, but numbers weren\u2019t available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the 152,626 pounds of turkey, including whole and roasted, here\u2019s what\u2019s arrived for the troops\u2019 menus specifically at overseas locations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>124,022 pounds of beef<\/li><li>66,054 pounds of ham<\/li><li>38,081 pounds of shrimp<\/li><li>6,512 cans of sweet potatoes<\/li><li>15,282 cases of pies and cakes<\/li><li>792 cases of eggnog<\/li><li>and other holiday treats<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DLA is unable to track precise numbers for amounts of food provided for Thanksgiving feasts for troops at stateside locations, the spokesman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government shutdown didn\u2019t affect the preparations for the holiday meals, he confirmed. Much of the work is done well ahead of time, and Defense Department guidance exempted any operations related to troop feeding from being affected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Service members on ships in the Caribbean as well as National Guard members deployed to cities within the U.S. will get their turkey, too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":110147,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":15,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,23,12,25,15],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3302],"class_list":["post-73872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-news","category-newsletters","category-pay-benefits"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"XFPYCX5CWNGXBMMPTWDF57D3HA","arc_canonical_url":"\/pay-benefits\/2025\/11\/20\/thanksgiving-feasts-deployed-to-troops-around-the-world\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
