The purpose of this is to keep the unit together through lunch and rejoin the battlefield together as a unit.  This lunch isn't provided to eat and then go take a nap afterwards. The lunch is cheese, grapes, bread, beef sticks, water and bananas (to keep muscles from cramping). Fowler has to be present at the event to provide the lunch.<br>
