At Air Force Combat Support Training Range sites, Airmen can simulate real-world expeditionary scenarios, creating an ideal environment to put new gear and ideas to the test. Recently, at the CSTR site on Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, Airmen used Air Task Force training events to test two new expeditionary systems: a joint air-transportable containerized kitchen and a water purification system.
Airmen prepare food for dinner service in the Joint Air-Transportable Kitchen System, or JACKS, field feeding system during a Combat Support Training Range event at the Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, Silver Flag training site Jan. 15, 2025. The new expeditionary feeding platform is capable of providing a broad spectrum of rations using modernized equipment to quickly serve a large number of personnel in the field.
