In the development of advanced technical means, NATO military specialists prefer the modular principle of their creation. The main technical means of feeding NATO troops in the field are mobile kitchens placed on trailers, containers or other vehicles.In the us army, the main technical means of cooking for the period up to 2030 will remain mobile kitchen SK (Containerized Kitchen). It is designed to provide food for soldiers in the battalion (division). In the future, container kitchen SK will replace all existing outdated samples of field kitchens. For the organization of food of the military forces of special operations and teams "Stryker" mobile kitchen is used AK (Assault Kitchen). It is designed for cooking from collective rations UGR-H&s for company units (batteries). In the German army used mobile kitchen TFK 250. In France, a mobile kitchen SOFRAME ELC500R is used to provide food to units up to and including the battalion. Its equipment is placed in two containers. The main purpose of field mobile bakeries of NATO countries is the production of bakery products in the field. Mobile bakery company "Pavalie" (France) is designed to provide bread and confectionery population of small towns, large buildings and army units. Bakeries Mobile Bakery (USA) are made in containers of 20 and 40 feet and installed on cars. All of the processes associated with the bakery is fully automated. Mobile field bakery produced by Marshall Military Engineering Mobile Field Bakery system MFBS (UK) is designed for the preparation of 5,000 units of bakery products per day. For transportation and refueling of armored vehicles there is a tracked all - terrain vehicle Hagglund BV206-a vehicle designed specifically in Sweden for NATO countries. This all-terrain vehicle is fully adapted to the movement of the water. There is a tanker truck on the basis of a trailer using tanks made of composite materials, developed by THOMPSON (USA). All the above-mentioned technical means are capable of performing functional tasks on the continental part of the European theater. However, specially developed for use in Arctic conditions, technical means of material support is currently in the NATO no.
