On the sixth day of Han Kuang 42, the 10th Army Corps revealed that the Fifth Operational Area established a field kitchen during the exercise, conducting field cooking and hot meal delivery to verify troops' ability to maintain food supply and combat readiness under restricted support conditions. The military also emphasized the safety of cooking oil used.

Han Kuang 42 entered its sixth day today (10th), and the 10th Army Corps announced this afternoon that the Fifth Operational Area set up a field kitchen during the Han Kuang 42 exercise, implementing field cooking and hot meal delivery to verify the troops' ability to sustain food supply and combat effectiveness under restricted support conditions.

The 10th Army Corps stated that the primary goal of field cooking operations is to ensure normal food service for troops and meet basic physical and nutritional needs. The field kitchen was established near civilian facilities with access to water sources, flat terrain, and good drainage. The operation team was divided into roles such as 'wok operators,' 'vegetable cutters,' 'portioning staff,' 'rice servers,' and 'bento packers.' After meal preparation, hot meals were delivered via mobile units to various frontline positions to maintain troop combat readiness and support mission accomplishment.
