The men of "Task Force Snow"
the Army Relief Force from Fort
Hood now feeding thousands of
flood victims in Neuvo Laredo
Mexico are rapidly becoming ex
pert Mexican chefs.
The Army cooks are serving
more than 4000 evacuees at every
meal—and they're giving them an
authentic native cuisine tortillas
chili enchiladas and plenty of
beans—a la Mexican.
The task force is under the
command of Maj. Thomas R.
Snow New Orleans La. of the
1st Armored Division's 2nd Anti-
Aircraft Artillery Bn. and is com'
posed of twenty Army field kitch
ens 12 from the 1st Armored Divi
sion four from the Fourth Arm
ored Division and four from other
Corps units. Four cooks are at
tached to each kitchen.
Give Cooking Advice
The kitchens have been estab
lished at 11 schools throughout the
town where the people made
homeless by the flood are now bil
leted. The food is supplied by the
Red Cross and the Mexican Gov
ernment. A committee of Mexican
school-teacher volunteers is giv
ing the chefs advice on preparing
£he menu and assisting in season-
the south-of the-border vic-
ruals.
According to Sgt. Arthur Dar-
don Knoxville Tenn. of the 68th
Armored Field Artillery Bn. who
is in charge of one of the kitchens
"The men are catching on to this
style of cooking very quickly and
the Mexicans seem to like the
chow."
Some of the men are no novices
