Soldiers at Fort Cavazos Face Months of Hunger Due to Cook Shortage

Fort Cavazos, an Army installation in Texas, has been facing a cook shortage, resulting in the closure of several dining facilities and leaving soldiers scrambling for meals. The base has struggled to provide meals for junior enlisted troops, with limited opening times and confusing schedules. Many Army cooks are either deployed or away on field training, further exacerbating the shortage. Some soldiers have had to travel long distances to access food, while others without vehicles face additional challenges. Although two dining facilities have recently reopened, the Army continues to grapple with a severe recruiting crisis. Improving dining facilities has been identified as a key focus to enhance the quality of life for troops and potentially alleviate the recruiting shortfall. The Army is considering allowing soldiers to use meal cards at on-post military restaurants as a temporary solution.
