• one troop feeding Dining Facility on Fort Liberty.  This tour will orient participants to Army processes for ordering, receiving and preparing food for 50,000 soldiers that work on Fort Liberty every day.  The tour – and other FFS sessions that address DLA Subsistence contracting – will provide insight to attendees on opportunities to introduce products to the troop feeding supply chain.
