Strikes me as a bad idea...
The Army is preparing to overhaul its food service system in a move that could strip away government-run dining facilities and hand operations to private, for-profit companies.
Framed as a modernization effort, the plan could saddle enlisted soldiers, many of whom already struggle with low pay, with even greater costs for meals they are effectively required to buy.

And are cooks and mobile Kitchens coming off all the unit MTOEs and TDA documents? How do the cooks train, and how does a Mess NCO learn DFAC management, ordering, inventory, etc.?

I honestly can't think of any time when any service has privatized a function and things got better.
