quotingThe Department of War has confirmed that at least seven U.S. military commissaries experienced refrigeration issues this week, affecting facilities at Fort Irwin, Holloman AFB, Naval Station Newport, Little Rock AFB, F.E. Warren AFB, Robins AFB, and Fort Huachuca. Photos from Fort Irwin were shared on social media.

The disruptions have forced some commissaries to restrict sales to dry goods, while refrigerated and frozen products have been removed or discarded. Fort Huachuca reported that its entire frozen-food inventory was spoiled after freezers entered defrost mode.
The Department of War said the Defense Commissary Agency is relocating products to alternative temperature-controlled facilities and taking precautions to prevent additional losses and maintain food safety.
The cause of the refrigeration failures remains unknown. While some online speculation has pointed to a coordinated cyberattack or deliberate disruption of network-connected refrigeration systems, no official evidence currently supports that theory. The department has declined to speculate on the cause or confirm whether the incidents are being investigated as a coordinated event.
