When it was a draft military and labor was very cheap soldiers did all those things you mention (cooking, cleaning, driving fork lifts). With the volunteer Army that all has changed. Now it is cheaper to pay civilians to do those things and thats who does most of the infrastructure support functions. In order to attract people to be soldiers you have to offer them real wages and the services want them to be professional soldiers so their is very little non-professional duty any more--at least stateside--relatively speaking compared to what it was.
