Building on the success of its autonomous dining facility, Market 19, the 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command is now testing a mobile version of the system that extends access to fresh, hot meals for Soldiers operating beyond the garrison environment.
The Sustained Autonomous Meals, or SAM, is a containerized extension of the Market 19 concept, designed to deliver on-demand meals in field environments, improving both operational flexibility and Soldier quality of life.
“This is essentially the same autonomous cooking system, but now in a 20-foot container that can go where dining facilities can’t,” said U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 River Mitchell, food advisor, 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command. “It allows us to bring freshly prepared meals directly to Soldiers, even in austere locations.”
