A commissariat is the part of an army whose job is food. It is the office — and the people in that office — that buy, store, and give out meals so soldiers can eat. You meet the word in military history and in news about armies; in ordinary talk people would just say the army's food department or supply office. In some countries it has also meant a government office that controlled food in wartime. It sounds formal and a little old. Civilians rarely use it unless they are talking about war.
軍需處;糧秣部門(軍隊裡管糧食補給的單位)
組成Borrowed from French commissariat: the office of a commissaire — an officer given the job of supplying the army.
