Although Installation and Garrison Commanders are ultimately responsible for the installation food program, they rely on many activities and organizations to oversee daily food service operations. This technical manual (TM) provides procedures for food program operations in an effort to assist in this task. It provides guidance for commanders, food program managers (FPMs), subsistence supply managers (SSMs), food service warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, dining facility managers (DFMs) and food service personnel. This manual is the second part of a total rewrite of field manual (FM) 10-23-2, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Garrison Food Preparation and Class I Operations Management. All topics related to food program management and subsistence supply management from this FM have been included in this manual. All garrison dining facility management, operations and techniques are contained in TM 4-41.11, Dining Facility Operations. Where appropriate, this manual references other food service administrative doctrinal publications, such as Army Regulation (AR) 30-22 and Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA Pam) 30-22. Army Food Program policy and operational procedures are contained in these publications and should be used in conjunction with this manual to establish and manage the installation food program. Part One of this manual provides an overview of food program management including responsibilities, budgeting, contracting, facility construction, modernization and equipment replacement, and review procedures for both dining facility and food program operations. Part Two of this manual discusses subsistence supply management in garrison and procedures for Class I inspection, storage, handling and transportation. The appendixes contain many sample standing operating procedures (SOPs), reviews and a checklist that can assist food program personnel in establishing and maintaining a solid food program. Food service personnel can contact the Concepts, Systems and Policy Division of the Joint Culinary Center of Excellence (JCCoE) for electronic copies of these SOPs, reviews and the checklist. Commanders, FPMs, SSMs, command food advisors, DFMs and food service personnel should continue to provide feedback based on their lessons learned during operations on the content and operational procedures presented in this manual. Your input is vital to the continued evolvement and success of the installation food program and to ensure that our Soldiers continue to be the best fed in the world.
