The current exploratory study presents the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a potential decision-making methodto obtain the relative weights of alternatives through pairwise comparison in the context of hierarchical structure. Theaim of this study was to elicit prior strategy to improve army military foodservice. Content analysis and seven timesof in-depth interview from 13 officers of the Ministry of National Defense were conducted to develop the hierarchicalstructure for AHP analysis. Questionnaires were distributed to 61 foodservice managers and 39 dietitian and militaryfoodservice officers. The highest-ranked strategy for improving military foodservice was the ``renewal of the kitchenfacilities`` (0.2578), followed by ``enlargement of foodservice operating staffs`` (0.2345), ``specialization of sanitation &foodservice management`` (0.2222), ``Practical foodservice budget control`` (0.1394), and ``menu variety & standardizedrecipe`` (0.1281). ``Enlargement of foodservice facilities`` (0.3995), ``increase the no. of kitchen police`` (0.3463),``sanitary & cooking training reinforcement of kitchen police`` (0.4445), ``management of foodservice budget by totalamount`` (0.5043), and ``standardization of mass cooking`` (0.3571) were the highest overweight item in each strategy. The study also compared the relative weights of alternatives of foodservice managers with that of dietitians and militaryfoodservice officers. Those two groups revealed some difference in their priority of important strategy regarding armymilitary foodservice. The results of this study would provide the data for making a policy or compilation of the budgetregarding army military foodservice. (Korean J Community Nutr 19(1) : 51~59, 2014)
