This situation is a travesty at Ft. HOOD and should NEVER happen to our military! God help us if we can't take care of THEIR needs! They can't hire CIVILIAN cooks??? This makes me very ANGRY! 😡😡😡

That it's one base points to something more. Was there as sting operation that netted several cooks? Drugs? Theft?
It would also explain the lack of clear causality - the JAG office sends out a gag order because they don't want to contaminate potential jurors.
I've seen similar situations after a large bust and it took longer than one would think to fix the staffing shortages.

This is purely a General Officer problem. Hire more Army cooks from within the ranks. Assign more enlisted and NCO personnel to this activity. Give the NCOs the freedom to function. Same for the junior officers in charge. Exceedingly poor leadership. Let’s Go Brandon!

Shows you what is running the military ... fat lazy drunks and freaks. Can’t even run a messhall ... should do really good in a shooting war.

When I served in Jimmy Carter's Army, I was in the 1st Armored Division in Germany. Our Mess Hall was consistently rated as the WORST in the 1st AD, but it was always open and served edible food to my troops.
There is no excuse for this - all of the taskings for cooks at Ft. Irwin, Ft. Knox, overseas, etc. were easily foreseeable. Someone (at the General level, though at lower levels as well) should be held accountable for this and punished.

Anyone can cook. Recipes are already created. The process just has to be followed.

It's not like they couldn't assign people already there to cook.
You can't tell me nobody besides the cooks know how to cook.

In the Navy they used to give us these if we missed meals/couldn't prepare them.
Bologna sandwiches and chips/candy or such.
Hated those things, but they kept you fed.

Hiring civilian cooks should never be considered in the military. Here is why, when the military is deployed, the cooks should travel with them. Civilian cooks who are hired for base mess halls would never agree to be sent into a war zone should the units they feed on base get deployed.
This is why the military has an MOS (Military Occupation Specialty) for cooks in the first place. So that they can deploy with their units if needed (and grab a rifle if they have to).

If there aren’t any C rations left in warehouses, issue them MREs.
They must not have any disciplinary problems at all if they can’t find folks for KP duty.
A final suggestion - but Second Lieutenants on the job. It’s not like they do anything important anyway.
