Elkhorn Dining Facility

Redefining Air Force Food Operations through Food Transformation Initiative (FTI)

FTI program is designed to enhance Air Force food service quality, variety and availability yet maintain the training platform for our military cooks. We partnered with industry to enhance our menus and food quality, meet Airmen’s expectations, and lower Air Force expenses. The program also provides additional food venues for our Airmen on meal cards through a ‘Campus Dining’ dining concept.

Beyond improving our existing dining facilities, we built another feeding capability where our Airmen work called “Provisions on Demand” or POD, where both hot and cold meals are served. In addition personnel on ESM have the capability to use their cards at NAF facilities on the installations.

Food service is extremely proud of its airmen’s dining facility, the Elkhorn Diner, rated as the finest food operation in the command. In past years, the dining hall has won the coveted Hennessy Trophy for best dining hall in the command.
