This study was performed to investigate the sanitation management and the sanitation knowledge of managers in military foodservice by questionnaires and inspection of foodservice facilities. Thirty managers working in military foodservice were given questionnaires and the related facilities located in the northern part of Kyeongki-Do, Korea were inspected. Most of the facilities(76.%) were built more than ten years ago, they are now decreptit and the internal temperature was high with poor ventilation in the kitchen. An education program on sanitation was conducted less than four times a month (63.3%) while the education materials and resources from the upper-unit(80%) along with their self-renewment of data was poor(once a month, 60%). In the sanitation knowledge examination, the percentage of correct answers were 76% in terms of facilities, 72% in terms of personal sanitation, 71% in terms of receiving and storage, 63% in terms of the environment and 57% in terms of the cooking process. The results of this study suggest that the modernization of foodservice facilities and equipment, along with additional sanitation machinery and equipment, a guaranteed working environment and upgraded sanitation education will be required to improve the sanitation management in military foodservice.
