原文:

 Commissaries are playing more of a role in the effort to increase healthy, fresh food options on military bases - to include a partnership with 10 Army bases to bring the food to kiosks/ outposts where service members can use their meal card to purchase certain items.

 Commissary officials are now working with the Air Force on a similar pilot program. "We're really expanding our deli operations" to reach single soldiers, said Defense Commissary Agency Director John Hall. "We've seen an increase in those sales as we make it convenient for them to order sandwiches, salads at lunchtime."

 In the Army pilot program, soldiers can pick up sandwiches, sushi, fresh cut fruit and drinks. The kiosks and outposts "are located in places across the installation that are convenient to soldiers," Hall said. "It's taking the benefit where the soldiers are located." For several years, there has been discussion about providing more healthy food options for troops on military bases, and enabling troops to use their meal card at locations outside the dining facility was one of the options discussed.

 A 2022 Government Accountability Office report questioned whether dining facilities are wasting money because troops don't eat there. It called for better tracking to determine whether the facilities are meeting their primary mission of feeding the troops.

 福利社的任務,不只是在軍事基地中提供健康、鮮食的選項而已,還與10處陸軍基地合作,將食物送至營站/外站,以利軍人使用餐卡購買特定食品。

 福利社官員正與空軍合作開展一項先期計畫。國防福利社主任豪爾表示,我們確實在擴展佳餚的選項,以服務每位官兵,「我們讓大家在午餐時分,很方便就能點到三明治、沙拉,確實也看到銷售成長」。

 在陸軍先期計畫中,官兵可以選擇三明治、壽司、鮮切水果與飲料。豪爾說,這些營站與外站「位於設施內,官兵便利之處」,「我們會利用官兵所在位置的便利性」。多年來一直有人討論要提供基地部隊更多健康食品選項,以及讓部隊在餐廳以外場所使用餐卡。

 一份2022年「政府問責署」報告質疑餐廳設施是否浪費公帑,因為部隊並不在餐廳用餐。它要求進一步了解,以決定這些設施是否符合供應部隊膳食的主要任務。
