The most important element of logistics is the services. The military service has been one of the most determining elements in the success of the armies on the battlefield throughout history. With every soldier's good and proper nutrition, the army will be able to fight. The Ottoman Empire has a large part of the importance of the soldier's nutrition in achieving success in the conquests. The Ottoman State has been an example of its long-distance flight organizations with the range agency that it established to feed its soldiers. The servicing services were performed by groups called Army, Army, Army, Ehl-i hiref, from the day of its establishment in the Ottoman Empire until the removal of the New Jersey Tower. By the law adopted in 1827, the Ottoman State began to be organized by taking over the responsibility of the soldiers to better meet all their needs in peace and war. In the Ottoman flight organizations, the foods and quantities that the soldiers eat daily, instead of the flight, varied depending on the length of the flight route and on various reasons. In this study, the aim is to see the Ottoman flights from a different perspective by showing how the food of the soldiers is done in the Ottoman flight organizations.

The fact that soldiers emphasized their diet had a big share over the victories Ottoman Empire had on their conquests. It set a good example to its contemporaries because that it the range organization, which it assembled for its high-distance campaign organizations, to make use of to nutrify soldiers. Catering services would be carried out by some groups dubbed as Army, Army Trade, Ehl-i hiref in Ottoman Empire from the date it was founded to the disestablishment of New Jersey. Through an act enacted in 1827, the Ottoman Empire set on to organize by taking on the responsibility of meeting all the requirements of its soldiers in peace and war time. The nutrients that soldiers received in the campaigns and their rations were subjected to change in accordance with the total length of the campaign route, destination and some other miscellaneous reasons.
