Abstract: The Army does not operate independently of the society in which it exists, and is forced to introduce international standards and quality systems, including in the field of nutrition, to safeguard the security of its members in terms of food consumption. Feeding area of the Army may consider the qualitative and quantitative aspects. Qualitative aspect consists in the application of highly effective nutrition programs that provide health-safe and balanced diet of consumers. In this paper, the qualitative aspect of the diet of the Army will be analyzed primarily from the perspective of food safety. Quality management system is the basis of food security during the military reform. Promotion of global food security and the integration of the Republic of Serbia to the WTO will contribute to the aggravation of the degree of implementation of food safety standards in the future. This paper will analyze the achieved level of ISO 9001, ISO 22000 and HACCP in the Army in the past.
