VOLK FIELD, Wis. - Nine airmen from the 136th Airlift Wing, Fort Worth, Texas, and two Nebraska Army National Guardsmen are testing the real-world capabilities of the Disaster Relief Mobile Kitchen Trailer during Patriot Exercise 2013 at Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center, July 2013.
The DRMKT is a new state-of-the-art mobile kitchen used during disaster relief situations.
“It’s a self-contained unit that has everything we need included, and it transports easily and sets up easily,” said Senior Airman Thomas Criger, 136th AW services member. “So far, we love it and it has saved a lot of set up time compared to the old system.”
Some of the features include cold storage units, a sanitation station, two ovens and a lot of convenient built in storage.
The DRMKT is being utilized to serve meals to all players that are a part of the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Emergency Enhanced Response Force Package.
The 136th AW received their DRMKT in January 2013 making this is the first exercise of this capacity that they have participated in.
“We can serve at least 400 at this point,” said Criger. “Beyond that, we’re still playing it by ear.”
The 136th AW airmen are part of more than 2,000 Army and Air National Guard members from 26 states joined members from a variety of local, state and federal agencies to train on responding to a large-scale domestic emergency.
