KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – The cooks assigned to Forward Support Company, 1st Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division know they’re a critical part of the mission but they are just doing what they love to do.
“I just love cooking,” said Pvt. Saktiel Johnson, a cook with FSC. “I always have and I always will.”
Johnson is part of a four-person team who feed soldiers, civilians, and just about anyone who drops by the Arghandab District Operations Coordination Center.
“We feed almost 300 people every meal, three meals a day,” said Staff Sgt. Gerald Crawford, the non-commissioned officer in charge of the cooks at the coordination center.
The team is also responsible for ordering all the food for all of the remote outposts in the district, Crawford said.
Although the cooks at the coordination center enjoy cooking, they take their job very seriously.
“When soldiers can get what they want to eat or drink, when they want it, I’m doing my job,” Crawford said. “Our job is to make sure when the soldiers get back from a mission, they have something to come back to.”
