The Military Kitchen

Napoleon had said that the army marches on its stomach, and he
was right!
Part of the army service includes arriving in places where it's not
possible to get food from the outside world, like field weeks in
the north and in the south, and bases that are far from the city and
the village, where it's not even possible to order food. In order to
provide the soldiers with a solution,
(people) invented the portable military
kitchen.
It's possible to attach the kitchen to a
Jeep and this way reach every
destination, and make sure that our
dear soldiers will not be left hungry
even in field weeks in the desert. The
kitchen is accessorized with an
abundance of utensils, pots and storage
places, and there's even a special shelf
for bread.
After the meal, just like in life, (one)
needs to nap, and all that's missing is a
sleeping bag, a blanket or maybe also a
bed, if you're serving in the right base .
In the next pavilion (pavilion number 2) it's possible to find all of
the IDF sleeping equipment, you (pl.) won't believe how much
equipment there is of that sort. In this pavilion you understand
how big an organization the IDF is, that it needs to supply its
soldiers with much more than weapons and war. The IDF
supplies uniforms, shoes, food, and also offices. It's also possible
to see here special equipment that very few soldiers in the IDF
use: ski equipment! Of course this equipment is intended for
soldiers on Mount Hermon. It's interesting to see that the color of
the alpinists' uniform is not green but white, because soldiers
generally prefer not to be seen.
