The Army is continuing to improve how it feeds its Soldiers through the roll-out of the Campus-Style Dining Venue pilot, an essential change for military readiness. Building on lessons from the first CSDV opening in February, the Army and Compass Group, the contractor selected to operate the first five venues, are shaping a modern dining model designed around today’s Soldiers.
“The Campus-Style Dining Venue represents a fundamental shift in the way that we view Soldiers’ quality of life,” said Lt. Gen. Chris Mohan, Army Materiel Command commanding general. “It’s about providing our men and women in uniform with the same quality, variety and modern atmosphere that we would find on a college campus or in a vibrant city.”
