Description:
Seen as a luxury on battle fronts, but often a feature of the rear guard—as well as remote civilian and industrial work sites—field kitchens (referred to on some vehicles as a galley) are essentially mobile cafeterias equipped to supply the culinary needs of up to 150 troops or workers. (That’s actually a textbook case; real-world kitchens can range in capability based on the supplies on hand and the skills of the chefs.) Some field commanders—notably those of the Lyran Alliance, who tend to value creature comforts more than others—often fight tooth and nail for their field kitchens, defending their value as a luxury that keeps troop morale high. But while that may sound petty, studies have shown that the responsible use of field kitchens can accomplish more to maintain troop health, ease tense nerves and reduce instances of broken discipline than field rations alone.
