Who is responsible for developing, publishing, and distributing the WWM?

The responsibility for developing, publishing, and distributing the WWM (Warrior’s Meal) lies with the HQ AFPC (Headquarters Air Force Personnel Center) food service branch. This central governing body is tasked with setting standards and guidelines that ensure uniformity and compliance within the food service operations across different locations. They create the WWM based on various operational needs, dietary considerations, and logistical capabilities, ensuring that all food services deliver reliable quality and nutrition to military personnel.

Other groups, such as the local food service team or individual shift leaders, play crucial roles in executing daily food service tasks and managing operations, but they do not have the authority or resources to develop and distribute overarching policies like the WWM. Similarly, regional supply chain leaders have a distinct focus on logistics and distribution but do not engage in the development of meal plans or operational guidelines for food service. Thus, the HQ AFPC food service branch is uniquely positioned as the authoritative body for such responsibilities.
