Class 1 - Rations

MRE (Meal, Ready to Eat ): Self contained meal packet. The meals come 12 to a case, consisting of an entree, cracker pack, cheese spread, mixed fruit, beverage powder, spoon, coffee, cream substitude, sugar, candy, matches and toilet tissue. Sample meals are chicken ala king, spaghetti, tuna casserole. Greatly improved over earlier attempts. Shelf life is 10 years. 0.6 kg per meal, minium 2 meals per day.

LRRPs: Vietnam era meals designed to be carried by Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols. 12 to a case, consist of one large dehydrated entree and an accessory pack. Menu includes chicken and rice, beef and rice, chili con carne, and spaghetti. Still in use by certain SpecOps forces. Somewhat equivalent to modern dehydrated backpacking food, but with accessories. 0.5 kg per day.

K rations: The Army´s newest ration back. In bivouac, the normal ration cycle is A/C/A, or hot breakfest, C-ration/MRE lunch, and hot dinner. This requires the mess section to cook twice daily, and keeping food fresh and restocked presented logistics problems. The K ration is a pre-prepared meal kit comsisting of sealed metal trays of entrees and side dishes designed to feed multiple soldiers (SWAG-20 ) per tray. They are heated by boiling the trays in water for a specific time. This system lessens mess personnel staffing requirements and eases preparation. Menu includes lasagna, scrambled eggs and ham, cheese grits, corn and sausage links in brine ( poodle peckers ). The K rations are supplemented with fresh bread and salad.
