## Resource

Military commissaries nationwide are facing a major crisis as widespread refrigerator failures have destroyed tons of frozen and refrigerated food across bases in California, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Arizona. The scale is staggering—thousands of dollars in lost inventory—and three criminal investigative divisions are now probing the cause. Officials confirm the issue is serious and under active investigation, with food safety a top priority as the situation unfolds.
