Millions of dollars collected by the United States Army for a food program were spent elsewhere — with less than half of the funds actually finding their way to soldiers’ plates, according to a report.

An investigative report from Military.com found that of the $225 million snatched up from junior enlisted soldiers as part of the Basic Allowance for Subsistence program, just $74 million went towards food.

“It’s just returned to the big pool of army funds, and it’s used someplace else,” an official told the outlet.

The Army is repurposing more than half of the money it collects from junior enlisted soldiers for food, according to data reviewed by Military.com. The numbers suggest that a large portion of those funds are not going toward feeding soldiers, a diversion of resources coming at a time when troops increasingly struggle to find nutritious food on base.

The U.S. Army has redirected over $151 million collected from soldiers’ pay for food to its general fund, according to a Military.com report. Eleven major Army bases collected $225 million in Basic Allowance for Subsistence but spent only a fraction on food services.

Rep. Jill Tokuda, D-Hawaii, emphasized the need for an investigation, stating, “Stealing food money from our soldiers is not how we achieve military readiness.”
