Whenever I give backpacks to my army and tell the dwarves to carry around a ration of food, I end up with them dropping their food in various parts of the fortress and then going to get a different ration.  Eventually the dropped owned food rots, and nothing can be done because the rotting roast has an owner so nobody dares dump it.

Workaround: don't hand out backpacks.  But I'm wondering if there's something else I could fix.

If you don't consider it cheating (and I don't), there's a DF Hack utility that can remove ownership of dropped food. Other than that, I don't think there is.

The proper solution is to never put miners, wood cutters, or hunters in your military - their civilian equipment assignments interfere with military uniforms, causing them to drop (and empty out) their backpacks.

I always make my wood cutters be axedwarves... that must be it!
