KDF's field kitchen that can cook for hundreds

Mention Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and a vivid picture of courageous Kenyan men and women ready to put their lives on the line for the republic immediately pops up. However, not many follow up on what the KDF is up to when not defending the country and that would explain why many are not aware of the marvelous innovations they have come up with. Among the plethora of innovations is one mobile field kitchen, specifically designed to aid soldiers operating in camps or those in battle.According to Kenya Air Force Senior Sergeant Josphat Muthoka, the field kitchen is built on wheels and uses diesel fuel rather than the conventional kerosene fuel, which makes it more efficient. He said the field kitchen was developed by KDF technicians in 2009 and the concept has seen tremendous improvement in how soldiers receive their meals while on duty. “You will need five things in order to light up the mobile field kitchen. Diesel, methylated spirit, a funnel, pressure pump and a lighter,” Muthoka says - getting ready to demonstrate exactly how to do the same. However, before doing anything, one needs to use the pressure pump to ensure that the in-built diesel tank has been pressurised. This ensures there is enough gas to burn the diesel as long as the cooking is taking place. The tank has two knobs and a tap. The tap is used to check whether there is enough fuel in the tank while the other two knobs are used to regulate the amount of fire being released. “Next, add diesel on top of the burner and return the mesh that covers the burner. Pour two caps of methylated spirit on the mesh and once it has settled in, light a match stick and throw it in the burner,” Muthoka says backing his words with action. A huge flame emerges and after letting it settle down, he repeats the same process on the second burner on the kitchen. According to the senior sergeant, the mobile kitchens can be used to cook any type of food from ugali to chapati and is able to cook for up to 900 people at a go depending on the size of the kitchen. There is the small kitchen that uses one litre of diesel and is able to cook for 70 people in one hour, a medium kitchen which also uses the same one litre of diesel but cooks for 300 people in an hour while the big kitchen uses three litres in one hour to cook for 900 people. Since 2009, similar units have been in mass production in some factories within the country, with several units having already been deployed at National Youth Service bases across the country. “We have also sold several units to corporates in Uganda and are working on standardising the mobile kitchen into a smaller domestic size so as to make it cheaper and affordable to the mwananchi,” Muthoka said.

Because Nigerians take the best pictures

For some reason KDF does not give its soldiers individual radios.

I noticed as well, taking pictures while slaying Boko Haram and getting the job done is all we know
Ghanaian grunts just couldn't keep out of the fun

Tinfoil:


Aren't those British Army modules for the combat simulation training at archers post? In most pictures when you see them deployed they are not issued radios. Like you had said earlier it was one of the reason that the lost so many soldiers. I think it is a serious problem.

Is it true that they will be soon replacing the F5?

What impresses me about South African special forces is that their pics/faces/weapons are not splashed around on the net. Sign of professional soldiers & of a system that understands the basic need for secrecy. This is not to take away from others who post pics....i guess the operational cultures are different.

IEDs? We survived anti tank land mines and learned to walk over them and wrote books about it, we survived Cubans and T62s 300km inside enemy territory with nothing but excellence. We downed Hinds, MiGs decorated a foreign landscape with their own scrap metal. Come back and let's talk military professionalism when your airforce boys encourage elite fighters trained in Russia then we will talk.I Till then go fight Koran reading people.

I have never seen pics of Devgru, Delta or SAD

Green Berets, SEALs and MARSOC are not *that* elite by US operator standards.

The APF included a Kenyan-led exercise, Linda Rhino, in which instructors observed the application of what was learned in the classroom and provided feedback. The exercise included multiple personnel recovery scenarios. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Evelyn Chavez/Released)
