The Army is planning to revamp its dining halls in an attempt to “modernize” the facilities to provide more dining options for service members, according to a request for proposal released Tuesday.

The proposal, first reported by Task & Purpose, describes implementing base dining facilities reminiscent of college campus cafeterias encompassing traditional dine-in options, online ordering, a surplus of healthy food and potentially even food delivery at select Army bases.

The service, according to the document, will partner with a private contractor to turn existing dining facilities into a “modern 21st Century venue that creates an environment that will foster unit esprit de corps [and] provide ambiance that is inviting to single Soldiers and Families alike,” including “recreational activities” and “social gathering areas” for service members.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I'm sure they also want more "diverse" menu selections, special diets to help trannies, special "womens only" diets, more delivery of food with "gay" spirits, special dining areas for those having a bad day, and the Black National Anthem piped softly into the dining area. :whistle:
