After specialist contacts congressman, Army admits soldiers got ‘sub-optimal’ food
A recent issue with food quality has been acknowledged by the Army. This matter came to light after a congressman was contacted by a concerned specialist. The congressman then made an inquiry, which led to a response from an Army colonel.
The colonel's letter confirmed that the concerns about food quality were valid. It is known that a local vendor provided meals to soldiers during an exercise. Staffing issues affected the vendor's ability to provide adequate service.
Further details about this incident are available from the source, including the colonel's letter and confirmation from a spokesperson at Fort Carson.
