00:01.271 --> 00:02.850
- [Anthony] I think it's a
big sense of accomplishment,

00:02.850 --> 00:05.300
in knowing and understanding
the bigger part

00:05.300 --> 00:07.120
and role that you have in the mission.

00:07.120 --> 00:08.460
We do still have bare bases,

00:08.460 --> 00:10.330
we are able to deploy
anywhere in the world,

00:10.330 --> 00:13.210
and set up shop and
serve food to the troops.

00:13.210 --> 00:15.400
Today, we set up what's
called the SPEK Kitchen.

00:15.400 --> 00:18.090
This stands for Single
Pallet-Sized Expeditionary Kitchen,

00:18.090 --> 00:20.660
and it's a matter of
putting up a temper tent,

00:20.660 --> 00:22.650
and then putting all of the pieces

00:22.650 --> 00:24.400
for the kitchen inside of the tent.

00:25.530 --> 00:28.420
This would be the step after MRE's.

00:28.420 --> 00:31.390
So at a initial bare base
we would start with MRE's,

00:31.390 --> 00:34.073
and then after that we
would move on to UBR's.

00:34.073 --> 00:36.110
And then we would serve UBR's out of here,

00:36.110 --> 00:37.810
utilizing the trade rations.

00:37.810 --> 00:39.930
This will fit anybody
that's at a bare base.

00:39.930 --> 00:42.560
This is what you call a
fill-feeding platform, basically.

00:42.560 --> 00:44.950
So anyone who's at a base
that's not established.

00:44.950 --> 00:46.850
A base that doesn't have hard facilities,

00:46.850 --> 00:48.580
they can set this up and
run in two, three hours

00:48.580 --> 00:50.373
and be able to serve food out of it.

00:51.640 --> 00:53.640
This entire process, from start to finish,

00:53.640 --> 00:56.240
being able to go to a bare base and setup,

00:56.240 --> 00:57.530
starting with just a temper tent

00:57.530 --> 00:59.250
and then have a full-blown kitchen

00:59.250 --> 01:00.890
running inside of that temper tent,

01:00.890 --> 01:04.260
I think it's a really
under-appreciated aspect

01:04.260 --> 01:06.700
that actually gets
overlooked a lot of times.

01:06.700 --> 01:07.980
Think most people, they deploy,

01:07.980 --> 01:10.190
they just expect to have a hot meal.

01:10.190 --> 01:11.760
But this is actually something that

01:11.760 --> 01:13.290
we're just building from the ground up.

01:13.290 --> 01:14.850
I mean it takes a dedicated,

01:14.850 --> 01:16.573
motivated team to accomplish it.

01:17.728 --> 01:20.145
