The same way they manage the rest of their international locations?
Plus the government is gunna give them fat checks in the name of infantry morale. In the early 2000s apple made a shitload for providing soldiers ipods

McDonalds is cheap and consistently good no matter where you get it. I can't think of a single time in my 32 years of life I've had a bad meal from McDonalds.

Let me expand, military bases are allowed to contract private companies and contractors to work on government installations. The employees hired are civilians and they usually live outside but nearby the base. In fact, almost all chow halls (mess halls, canteens, same shit different term, etc) operate under the contractor model with civilian employees serving uniformed personnel. The best part is that it's all actually not free and deducted from a service member's paycheck automatically

They aren't at "remote" bases. I think that McDonald's was at the huge staging base in the uae. They only exist at places with tons of non combat soldiers that get air deliveries daily.

Food transportation logistics is the bread and butter of any fast food franchise. Contracting out to someone who already knows how to create, transport and cook food is much easier than figuring it all out on your own.

Giving your soldiers familiar foods, tastes that they'll recognize from home also goes a long way towards maintaining morale.
