• FORT DRUM, N.Y.
The 10th Mountain Division Sustainment Brigade (MDSB), 10th Mountain Division (LI) culinary specialists are doing their part to support Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) by offering the Culinary Outpost Kiosk, which is focused on grab-n-go offerings for Soldiers.
This foodservice option, which specializes in providing 10th Mountain Soldiers with a high-energy prepackaged meal designed to sustain Soldiers in austere conditions, opened on Feb. 18 at the Muleskinner Warrior Restaurant.
With this effort, the 10th Mountain Division continues efforts to promote the health and well-being of its Soldiers while maintaining a focus on H2F, which encompasses not only the physical aspect of health, but also the mental, sleep, spiritual and nutritional aspects that keep Soldiers in the fight.
Sgt. 1st Class Jorgbor Jorgbor, assigned to the 10th MDSB, believes that this is an important and effective way to bring Soldiers a nutritious meal that will enhance not only their well-being, but help to improve their performance and boost morale.
“It is exciting to note that the Kiosk presents an alternative to fast food for service members,” Jorgbor said. “This initiative promotes healthier eating habits and fosters a sense of community among Soldiers.”
With the new kiosk in operation, Fort Drum now has two kiosks on the installation, including the 1st Brigade Combat Team Culinary Outpost Kiosk, an option that provides fresh fruit, foods, and beverages that are meant to meet Soldiers’ nutritional needs.
HEALTHIER EATING HABITS
The 10th Mountain Division (LI) remained committed to advancing Soldier health and fitness, which was evident when the Culinary Outpost Kiosk was under development.
The kiosk design aligns with the feeding concepts of the Army Food Modernization Program to meet the needs of Soldiers.
By providing alternatives to less healthy food choices, the kiosk encourages Soldiers to make better decisions about their diets, ultimately contributing to improved health, energy levels, and overall well-being.
The new kiosk is designed with speed in mind, allowing visiting Soldiers the opportunity to refuel efficiently by having accessible high-quality options in front of them before needing to return to their duties.
“Our goal is to be the premier kiosk on post,” Jorgbor said. “We are dedicated to exceptional service and a diverse menu that meets the needs of our troops.”
The Culinary Outpost Kiosk is open Monday-Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on the weekends and holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
