Feeding an Army

Since its inception in 1775, the United States military has been responsible for feeding its troops. Numerous challenges, including the procurement and transportation of food, dangerous or tough operating conditions in the field, changing standards of quality and nutrition, and discerning palates, have not made this an easy task.
