【ミリ飯！】陸上自衛隊 非公開の炊事訓練の一日に密着！

This time, I would like to express my gratitude to Kagoshima, my hometown. Photographed by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force “Ground Self-Defense Force Amami Garrison” The other day, a cooking competition was held for disaster relief personnel, and I took a photo of it. The Ground Self-Defense Force Amami Garrison is the front line of defense for the Southern Islands, and approximately 420 members are permanently stationed there. It consists of a surface-to-ship guided missile operation unit and an electronic warfare unit. Amami Garrison is a relatively new garrison, so there is a shooting range with new equipment.

Today’s guns are much looser, My previous gun had a shock that made my shoulders hurt. The impact of the machine gun was so great that my shoulder turned red. When you shoot, it will show you where it hit. Here, everyone shoots like this, “Bang, bang”

The equipment here measures the distance from the center of the target in millimeters. Performance is much better than the previous one “Sustainable Running Competition” Participants wear equipment weighing more than 5 kg, such as backpacks and horizontal bars, and compete for speed in squads. Check equipment Check that your equipment weighs more than 5kg The course goes around the base and is a tough course due to the slopes.

Aiming for the goal while supporting each other It’s called a raincoat, but it’s a raincoat. It’s called a “nap cover” and is meant for napping. It’s like a sleeping bag the next day “Cooking Competition” Cooking will be held in preparation for disaster relief dispatch.

Cook chicken curry, pork soup, and ham salad using the same ingredients (Outdoor cooking equipment: Towed outdoor cooking equipment that can be used for cooking such as rice) To prevent food poisoning, we strictly check hygiene aspects such as nail growth.

The time from the start to the end of cooking is fixed. Cook the same menu using the same ingredients within the time limit Cooking will be done according to the method planned for each team. Setting up a cooking area “I will cook white rice in this.” “This is a potato peeler.”

“Please wash your hands every time you touch the food.” Communicate cooking methods and hygiene precautions for the troop. “I’d like to make sure you do it.” While each person is working on their own process, they work together to help with any processes that are delayed while cooking. “Have you added the ingredients, added water, and lit the fire?” “Maybe I should cook it a little more.” Learn how rice is cooked by smell and improve your cooking ability “Vehicle competition” Compete for vehicle handling ability of security guards “This amount will keep you warm for a while.” “good!” “delicious” “My name is Second Sergeant Mizoi, and I am serving as the head chef.” “The menu this time was designed with disaster relief in mind , so there are a few things I focused on.”

“I cooked the curry with the goal of making a dish that everyone in the disaster-stricken area could eat, from infants to the elderly.” “ I cooked the “My preference is curry with large.”

I made it so that it was a size that anyone could eat.” “My preference is curry with large ingredients. I prepared it that way because it was intended for disaster relief.

“For the pork soup, we make it mild so that the strong flavor of ginger and other condiments does not come out as strong.” “ We make it with the aim of making it edible for everyone from children to the elderly.” “It was really delicious!”

What made you become a SDF member? “Because my parents’ house was near Kokubu Garrison in Kagoshima Prefecture.” ” When I was in elementary school, I participated in a trial enlistment for the SDF and thought it was a good experience.”

At that time, a SDF member was very kind to me, “He told me that he would be waiting for me in the SDF in the future.” I worked hard to become a SDF member.

What do you think is good about becoming a member of the Self-Defense Forces? “The best part was being able to meet all kinds of people.” ` `I started interacting with people of different ages that I would never have interacted with before,” and “Relationships with people have become the most important thing.”

Is training difficult? “The biggest thing that’s difficult is that I’m not alone.” ` `My seniors are working hard, and my classmates are working hard ,too.” My juniors are also working hard.” “We train while encouraging each other.” “ My friends are the most important thing.”

What made you decide to become a Self-Defense Forces officer? “My uncle is a former member of the Self-Defense Forces, and he encouraged me to become a member of the Self-Defense Forces.” What kind of unit do you belong to? “I mainly belong to the reconnaissance unit.” ‘ “When the road collapses,

I use my motorcycle to go first to areas where cars cannot pass.” ` `I first check the situation on the ground and inform the rear troops.” That will be my job.”

What do you think is good about becoming a member of the Self-Defense Forces? “I’ve been involved in disaster relief work,” “and when I was removing rubble, I was told “thank you” by the surrounding residents.” “It really touched my heart and I felt it was worth it.”

今回撮影をお願いしたのは奄美大島にある陸上自衛隊 奄美駐屯地です。
普段は一般公開されていない、災害時を想定した炊事訓練競技会および、持続走競技会を特別に撮影させていただきました。
この日は3つの班に分かれて、それぞれが同じ材料で工夫を凝らして指定の料理（この日はカレー、豚汁、サラダ）を作り、最後に試食会が行われる競技会です。
ただでさえ大量に作ることは難しい上に、美味しいことはもちろん、煮沸など徹底した食中毒対策、お年寄りから子供までいろいろな人が食べることを想定して作る料理は様々な工夫がされていました。
ちなみに実際の災害時では、隊員の方々はこの温かい食事は食べられず、派遣先の市民へ配布され、隊員は派遣先ではほとんどが冷たいままの戦闘糧食などを食べられるとのことです。
皆さん、調理しながらも「それだと具がのどに詰まるかもしれない」「これだと小さい子供も好きな味」など、食べる相手の事をいろいろ考え、ひたむきに作ってる姿が印象的でした。
