A day in the life of a cooking drill in a JGSDF garrison!
We were asked to film a day of cooking training at the Ground Self-Defense Force Amami Garrison on Amami Oshima.
We were specially allowed to film a cooking training competition and a sustained running competition, which are not usually open to the public, and which were held on the assumption of a disaster.
On this day, we were divided into three groups and each group prepared a designated dish (curry, pork miso soup, and salad on this day) using the same ingredients in an ingenious way, and a tasting was held at the end of the competition .
In addition to the difficulty of making large quantities of food, the dishes had to be delicious, thoroughly prepared for food poisoning by boiling, etc., and prepared for a variety of people from the elderly to children to eat.
Incidentally, in an actual disaster, these hot meals would not be eaten by the members of the team, but would be distributed to the civilians at the destination, and the members would eat mostly cold combat rations and other food at the destination.
It was impressive to see how everyone was thinking about the people who would eat the food, such as "the ingredients might get stuck in their throats," or "this is a taste that small children would like.
