For decades, the complexities of making absolutely certain that dairy and meat do not mix has led to a ban on dairy in all IDF kitchens. Over the last few weeks, however, the Arutz Sheva reports, the IDF has formulated a plan for repealing the ban on dairy, which was imposed by Rabbi Shlomo Goren during his tenure as Chief Rabbi of the IDF.
Leading the policy change is Maj. Gen. Michel Janko, commander of the Technology and Logistics Division, along with Chief Military Rabbi Brigadier General Rabbi Eyal Karim.
The change in policy is causing great concern among many military rabbis. “This is a catastrophe for military rabbis,” said officials in the military rabbinate who spoke with Arutz Sheva. “Neither the Chief Rabbi of the IDF nor his deputy, Rabbi Udi Schwartz, have ever supervised a military kitchen. This matter was not considered either by the standards of the military rabbinate or of the kosher supervision department.”

For the IDF: complex and dangerous military operations, yes.
Cooking dairy and keeping it separate from meat, no.
Got it!!!!
It looks like they all forgot about that lady in Eretz Yisroel that died in April of 2020 because she was allergic to dairy and she requested ice cream for desert in a Kosher meat restaurant assuming that they will bring her pareve ice cream.
A mistake happened and the worker bought dairy ice cream and served it to her.
Insane you are a fool!
This is more of a calamity for the religious men serving in the army as Mashgichim of the kitchen. They will be brought in to kasher kitchens way more often. Just for Mac n Cheese?? You can “cook” that in the microwave. Just put in a large milchig microwave in an appropriate area of the kitchen and voila.
