Freezing in Haiti

Here's some more food for thought on the issue of Haiti and the December elections; just as the State Dept. ramps up efforts to provide weapons, etc., to the HNP, the U.S. military wants to ship 12 24-foot "refrigerated/freezer containers" to Haiti by December 1. More than likely, the containers will be for food-related uses; on the other hand, upon seeing that the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Acquisition Center is coordinating this particular procurement action, I couldn't help but let my mind wander a bit.

Why is a military R&D unit handling the shipment of these massive freezers? Plus, why does this contract fall under Foreign Military Sales regulations?

I won't dare speculate.
