Who is the primary trainer for new food service personnel in the Army?

The Unit Food Advisor (UFA) serves as the primary trainer for new food service personnel in the Army due to their specialized expertise and responsibilities within the food service program. The UFA is specifically designated to oversee food service operations, ensure compliance with regulations, and provide training and support to personnel. This role includes equipping new recruits with the essential skills and knowledge required for effective food service operations, thus ensuring that they are well-prepared for their duties.

In contrast, while the Chief of Supply and the Food Service Manager have roles related to food service operations, they focus more broadly on logistics, supply chain management, and overall food program management rather than direct training of new personnel. The Unit Commander, although responsible for the overall leadership within a unit, typically does not engage in the detailed training of food service personnel but may support the training initiatives led by the UFA.
