Things such as going to chow; you have to approach the gate guard and present him with your cac card so he can verify that you are authorized to eat in the chow hall. Then when you enter the chow hall you must scan your cac card into the computer that way they can keep a head counrt of how many people go into the chow hall. Also you need your cac card to enter almost any building on the FOB. If you try to enter the PX another guard ask to see your id.

The Army over the last few years has learned a hard lesson. The current force and the way it takes care of equipment is not compatible with the GWOT. Looking ahead the army has come up with a design to combat this problem and streamline the Forces. By decreasing our decreasing our so many contracts that the DOD has and get back to soldiers being more involved in taking care of their equipment so that units in the army will transform into a lean mean fighting machine capable of fighting in any engagement and be able to maintain their equipment.
