What is the Army Field Feeding System?
The Army Field Feeding System (AFFS) is a total system, which supports battle doctrine through flexibility in feeding methods. It is designed to meet the tactical commander’s needs as determined by the mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-time available and civil considerations (METT-TC) on the battlefield. It furnishes commanders the capability to provide Soldiers the right meal at the right place at the right time. The feeding methods, rations, and equipment capabilities give commanders feeding options to perform sustained tactical feeding for field training exercises and operational deployments. The AFFS also includes medical units and special considerations required for the health care of Soldiers. As a total system, the AFFS has three main capability areas: A family of rations and menus; equipment to support storage, distribution, and preparation of rations; and, personnel to operate the system.

The objective goal of the AFFS capability will be to fuel the individual Soldier through dramatic and revolutionary changes in field feeding technologies and modular organizations for operations on the battlefield. Advance technologies in both rations and equipment will contribute to a reduction in logistics footprint and resupply requirements, which are essential, particularly for the first 72 hours of battlefield operation by the future Modular Force Soldier.
