Some of the dining facilities have only been opened during limited times, forcing some soldiers to drive a long distance across one of the military's largest installations in attempts to get food.
“For months, one [dining facility] was open and was a more than 30-minute drive for my soldiers,” a noncommissioned officer who spoke to Military.com anonymously said. “All the soldiers were going to that one. It's unmanageable during the workday.”
Many Army cooks have been pulled off the base for a rotation at the National Training Center and for support of a cadet exercise at Fort Knox, Kentucky, further straining the Fort Cavazos facilities, according to the report.
