The Army opened a new kind of dining facility at Fort Hood, Texas, this month, replacing the traditional chow hall model with something closer to a university food court. Soldiers on meal cards will spend what the Army is calling "freedom dollars" across an overhauled facility with multiple food stations, extended hours and a mobile app for ordering. The first location, dubbed 42 Bistro after the year Fort Hood was established as Camp Hood in 1942, was scheduled for its grand opening Feb. 18.
