Proposal Statement
Modifying the Army-issued Container Kitchen to reduce unsafe Carbon Monoxide gases and interior heat levels.
Recommendation Information
The Military Table of Organizational Equipment (MTOE) authorized Container Kitchen (CK) utilizes open flame burners on all cooking equipment and has ceiling heights below eight feet. This has caused heat levels in excess of 175 degrees and carbon monoxide gases in excess of safe levels. Levels which are not safe to operate in for extended periods as required by our cook staffs supporting field operations.
Recommend the Army National Guard Bureau work with Army, Combat Army Support Command (CASCOM) to modify existing Container Kitchen to incorporate air beam raised ceiling that have exhaust fans to create through flow of the air and utilize closed box burners to reduce interior heat and carbon gas levels within the kitchen.
