The Fort Hood Exchange is providing vital support to the Joint Nations Warfighter exercise underway across the installation, embodying the Exchange’s “We go where you go” motto.
The exercise spreads about 2,000 troops from the U.S. Army and British Army across Fort Hood’s training ranges, with many of them stationed nearly 20 miles from the main containment area.
The Fort Hood Exchange stepped in with a new mobile truck, which is dispatched daily from the West Express to two locations with sandwiches, snacks, drinks, personal hygiene products and other special-request items.
“When notified of the request for retail and food items, we developed a plan of action to best serve the troops during this exercise,” said Fort Hood Exchange General Manager Charlyne Morganfield. “The mobile truck provides the troops with much needed items daily, and the Fort Hood team is honored to provide this service.”
The Joint Nations Warfighter exercise aims to enhance interoperability between the U.S. and its allies in combat environments. The U.S. and U.K. are joined by France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Australia and Canada as observers.
The exercise has included visits from the Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. James C. McConville and Vice Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Randy A. George.
Fort Hood is scheduled to support another exercise in June.
