FLEXIBLE EATING AND EXPANDED DINING PROGRAM (FEED)  

Fort Stewart is proud to be the first Army installation to fully implement the FEED program, marking a significant milestone in the Army's effort to transform how Soldiers access meals and improve quality of life. Now eligible meal card holders can use their Common Access Cards (CACs) to purchase approved menu items (at no additional cost) at participating AAFES restaurants across the installation, providing greater flexibility, expanded dining options, and increased convenience. Participating restaurants include Burger King, Subway, Starbucks, and QDOBA. As part of the Army's broader Food Ecosystem initiative, FEED is designed to give Soldiers more choice in where they eat while maintaining access to nutritious meal options that support readiness and today's operational demands.

UPDATE YOUR ADPAAS  

Readiness is not just about equipment and training; it is about ensuring the safety and security of our most vital asset: our people. The Army Disaster Personnel Accountability and Assessment System (ADPAAS) is our primary tool for accountability and support during natural or man-made disasters. When a crisis strikes, every second counts. Having accurate, up-to-date contact information in ADPAAS ensures that commanders can swiftly account for personnel, assess critical needs, and rapidly deliver essential services such as housing, medical care, and financial assistance. Furthermore, for our forward-deployed service members, knowing that their families are safe and accounted for back home provides invaluable peace of mind, allowing them to remain fully focused on the mission.

CIF OPERATIONS UPDATE: SEAM OVERVIEW    

SEAM (Soldier Equipment Asset Management) is the U.S. Army's modern digital platform designed to streamline how soldiers manage their gear, replacing the manual, paper-heavy CIF process. It acts as a centralized app for issuing, returning, and tracking individual equipment (OCIE), allowing soldiers to validate records and handle gear issues instantly. It simplifies how soldiers order, return, and swap out gear, making it a "fast and easy" process compared to previous systems. Soldiers can make appointments directly from the SEAM portal. There is no need for a Soldier to come to CIF until they have a confirmed appointment.
