The problem of feeding an armed force engaged in combat, whether in alien or in home areas, has occupied the attention of military leaders since the beginning of organized warfare. Leaders learned that the ability of men to fight was related to the way they were fed and that the answer to the feeding problem often determined victory or defeat. The axiom that an army travels on its stomach is as good today as it has ever been, only now that classical stomach rides in airplanes, ships, tanks, submarines, and jeeps in every terrain and climate of the world. But there is no question that the problems of the army stomach have entered the age of specialization. This fact is increasingly evident as the story of army subsistence unfolds from the early simplicity to the contemporary complexity of the military feeding program.

The earliest rations of the United States Army were all-inclusive in purpose. For more than a century after 1776, the basis of all troop feeding--for soldiers in camp, on the march, in action, or just surviving--was the simple fare of meat and bread, and sometimes vegetables, known as the garrison ration. From the Revolutionary War to World War I, the garrison ration served the unit, the small group, and the individual. Moreover, it was intended to serve them in organized messes, in isolated groups, and in individual situations of combat and survival.

Good morning, Meg....have we completely abandoned our regular sleeping pattern? LOL! How are your night visitors doing? Who visits during the day? And how is kitty doing, now that she is home?

Aloha kakahiaka Meg!

But it ain't morning here yet. I'm about to hit the rack.

[MEG33]

Kitty wants out at times! ..I always easily get her back in. She is entertained by the varmits..She made a weird bark the first time she saw a robin and a mockingbird. I have had more robins this month than I can recall..just for a drink of water.

I still have the raccoons come..but not the fox..various cats have been by today having stare offs through the glass with Silky..

I was on on a decent schedule.It never lasts..I am a born night owl. LOL

How was jury duty?

[MEG33]

It's really my bedtime..but I am off schedule...again.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I keep nodding off and am going to have to give it up.

Jury Duty was ok....I was #44 on the second jury. Finally was released about 12:30p, but with orders to call each night after 5p. I called and was told Numbers 513 through 673 and 1 through 242 must report Tuesday morning at 8am....my number is 463....next call, 5pm Tuesday evening.
