Super Bowl Fixins’ Afghanistan-Bound

It was Napoleon who said an army travels on its stomach, and Battleland doesn’t think the French were playing football back in those days. But the folks at the Defense Logistics Agency’s Troop Support shop know that there’s no better way to spend Super Bowl Sunday – even if it’s going to be Monday at kickoff time in Afghanistan – than chowing down on football food:




“Providing special-occasion meals for our deployed troops, like the Super Bowl snacks they’ll eat this weekend, is always a great source of pride for us,” Rich Faso, acting deputy director of Subsistence at DLA Troop Support, said. “We know that it’s a huge morale booster for those service members, and our employees enjoy being a part of that.”

    Honor, Stigma…and PTSD

    Trash can be deadly. You can get a hint of that from the contract solicitation issued Tuesday by the Defense Logistics Agency’s European disposition office seeking “hazardous waste services in southwest Asia.”
