           SUBJECT: After Action Report


           requirements are: maintenance of M-2 burners required 1-2 people
           full time; cooks often had to pull KP because the hospital did
           not implement a duty roster for various reasons; nutrition care
           personnel often had to prepare different rations for patients and
           staff because staff is supposed to follow theater ration policy
           unless the logistical situation will permit feeding the same
           ration as the patients. As an example, the BSth Evac with over
           400 staff and up to 400 patients had a requirement for 20 9lXs.
           To provide that support for an extended period of time placed a
           lot of stress on the nutrition care staff with all of the
           .resultant morale and illness problems developing. They tried
           running one 16 hour shift and also two 10 hour shifts but still
           had the problem. This is but one example. Other hospitals had
           to contract for civilian XPs; supplement other hospital's staffs;
           and pull details that Food Service is exempt from by regulation.

                    3. Recommended Action: That the MARC be reviewed and
           workload factors be relooked for adequacy.

           Note: Incomplete information is available at this point to
           provide a comprehensive report. Numerous comments were received
           from the field concerning equipment and operational issues.
           These have yet to be consolidated and analyzed.
