美国陆军把92G「烹饪专家」更名为「战术野战供餐专家」:10月30日在 Fort Lee 举行更名仪式

美国陆军军需学校联合烹饪训练部10月30日在弗吉尼亚州 Fort Lee 的战术野战战备训练中心举行仪式,正式把军职专业 92G 的名称从「烹饪专家」改为「战术野战供餐专家」。陆军称,这次更名是配合陆军转向在对抗环境下筹划与实施大规模作战行动。
军需司令 Stacy Moore-Callaway 上校在仪式上说,陆军更改一个军职专业的名称,不是为了表面换牌或行政方便,而是因为战争的形态变了;新的名称才真正体现 92G 在作战中的分量。她说,现代战场要求编成内的每一名士兵都转向以生存与杀伤力为先的思维。
担任仪式主讲的陆军 G-4 军士长 Paul Denson 说,战术野战供餐人员为部队输送持久力,「一名吃饱的作战人员,才是能在持久近战中取胜的敏捷战士」;他们不只是做饭,还必须懂食品生产、营养与食品安全,并理解战术行动、后勤保障与在对抗环境中作业。Denson 本人1999年入伍时就是一名 92G。
这一专业的职责包括订购补给、管理库存、在野战环境中准备营养餐食,并使用陆军野战供餐系统与移动厨房拖车把热食送到艰苦地形中的部队。其历史可追溯到第二次世界大战时期陆军为厨师设专职岗位;1960年代陆军正式设立军职专业体系,94B「食品服务专家」诞生;1995年10月1日,94B 改为 92G「烹饪专家」,这一名称沿用了三十年。

U.S. Army Renames Its 92G Culinary Specialists as Tactical Field Feeding Specialists in an October 30 Ceremony at Fort Lee
The U.S. Army Quartermaster School's Joint Culinary Training Department held a ceremony on October 30 at the Tactical Field Readiness Training Center on Fort Lee, Virginia, formally renaming the 92G military occupational specialty from culinary specialist to tactical field feeding specialist. The Army said the change comes as it transitions to planning and conducting large-scale combat operations in contested environments.
\"When we change an MOS title in the Army, we do it not for superficial rebranding or administrative convenience; we do it because the character of war has changed,\" said Col. Stacy Moore-Callaway, the Quartermaster commandant. The new title, she said, truly captures the 92G's operational weight, and modern battle spaces demand that every soldier shift toward survivability and lethality.
Sgt. Maj. Paul Denson of the Army G-4, the ceremony's guest speaker, said tactical field feeding warfighters deliver endurance to the force and that a well-fed warfighter is a lethal, agile soldier who will win in a prolonged close fight. The specialists must understand food production, nutrition and food safety, he said, as well as tactical operations, logistics and operating in a contested environment. Denson himself started his career in 1999 as a 92G.
The specialty's mission covers ordering supplies, managing inventory and preparing nutritious meals in field environments, using the Army Field Feeding System and Mobile Kitchen Trailers to deliver hot meals in challenging terrain. Army cooks were first given specific positions during World War II; the Army formalized occupational specialties in the 1960s with the 94B Food Service Specialist, which on October 1, 1995 became the 92G Culinary Specialist, a name that lasted thirty years.
