 Good morning team, my name is Major Jared Rosebaugh, I'm with the 4th ESC G4 and we'll be discussing field feeding. So the main difference between the current process and the process we're going to with the field feeding teams is that the field feeding was designed by unit support and now we're going to area support. So area support is where a field feeding team will set up an area and they'll provide field feeding for all the units within a certain area. The area responsible for the 4th ESC covers from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Little Rock, Arkansas to Norman, Oklahoma down to Sydney, Texas. It starts off with the units conducting their annual training briefs. They should have identified all the food service requests that they need to submit for their whole year and at that point USARP will send the request down to the ESCs so they can establish field feeding requests. The first question is are the units available? Are they tasked with other missions or are they available to do other things? The second one is going to be do they have any mandatory training requirements as well? The next one is really for the commanders of the units that really determines a lot of the food service requests and that's the readiness of the unit. This ring represents their 50 mile radius of where they provide area support. Combined, they can provide support for 700 people or they could separate and provide feeding for 300 people at two locations at one time. Alright now let's go through a real world example. NTC at Fort Irwin. The requesting 45 personnel from the platoon. Do you have any major training events that would prevent you from providing service? Do you foresee any issues that you wouldn't be able to provide support for? Okay at this time start making coordination with the requesting unit. Three MKTs to provide support for the month of August at NTC. Then back at the San Antonio for the second platoon they also still have another platoon so they're still able to provide support. For our second example the 914th Coroner Master Day has been assigned a two week mission up at Fort McCoy for Worex 2401. The request has been for 15 personnel and provide food services for 600 people so both the MKTs will be going to Fort McCoy. Our third example is a unit going to annual training. They're doing a three-day annual training at Albuquerque in New Mexico. So they're only requesting support for 150 people for the three days so you all need and one MKT to provide support for that organization which also leaves another MKT provide for additional support if any other unit requests it. For our fourth example we have a unit that is requesting support out of McAllen, Texas. Unit that is requesting food service is outside the Fifth Mile radius so we can't support this so we would send up a statement and on a bill but he up to the 377th and notify the unit that they'll have to find other means to provide food service support. For our sample number five there's another food service request in Houston, Texas for the 914th Coroner Master debt. Remember back the 914th is currently at Fort McCoy so they're not able to provide support for this food service request. However there's another field feeding platoon that is there and it's the 878th Coroner Master Company platoon number three. So at this time they will provide support for that organization for their battle-summit weekend. A food service request for the 916th Coroner Master debt in Little Rock, Arkansas. Sir we have two MKTs down for maintenance at this time. So therefore they cannot provide support for this food service request there's no other food service field feeding teams within the area so at this point we would send up a statement and on availability up to the 377th for them to find other means to support themselves. These are exciting times for the field feeding units. We get to engage the 92 goffs to be able to perform their missions. It's going to be better organized throughout the area of support and we'll be able to maintain continuity better when we deploy for contingency operations in crisis management.
