In a return message from Col. Ernest Lane II, the commander of the 405th AFSB, he sent his gratitude and appreciation to everyone who participated in the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cA huge thank you to our esteemed Polish partners, the Polish Inspectorate, V Corps, and 1CD DSB for co-hosting this significant milestone event. Showcasing culinary expertise and cultural exchange through food is a wonderful way to build relationships and understanding,\u201d said Lane, adding that the format for the event sounded quite engaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the presentations on food safety standards followed by a collaborative cooking session featuring an American southern meal \u2013 being from Florida, I can only imagine the delicious results enjoyed at the concluding luncheon,\u201d Lane said.<\/p>\n

This initiative perfectly exemplifies the importance of interoperability and readiness, said Lane, who took command of the 405th AFSB about a month ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy fostering friendships and strengthening bonds between nations, we create a stronger foundation for all involved. I’m excited to see how this event paves the way for sustained collaboration in the culinary domain,\u201d Lane said.<\/p>\n

According to Ridgway, plans are underway to establish quarterly touchpoints. The next event \u2013 tentatively scheduled for August \u2013 is expected to focus, at least in part, on the Army Food Program\u2019s field feeding operations.<\/p>\n
