OPERATIONAL RATIONS

MISSION STATEMENT

The Operational Rations Business Unit provides streamline management of all Operational Rations Programs and a master strategy for the integration of the Nation's industrial base for these rations. Our primary focus is our Military Customers’ requirements. We respond by implementing and providing Operational Rations Programs/Items and logistical infrastructures to support their use. Modern battlefield requirements demand subsistence support that adequately provides for the needs of our military personnel in extremely intense and highly mobile combat situations that can be easily adapted to the civilian sector for humanitarian feeding. We are committed to supplying both our present and future customers timely and quality products at an affordable cost. We are also responsible for Subsistence-wide Industrial Base, Value Management, Pest Management/Sanitation/Packaging, and Quality Audit Programs.

*Policy Statement: It is DLA Troop Support policy NOT to sell rations to individuals, whether members of the Armed Services or civilians. The Department of Defense regulations and DLA TS policy permit the sale of rations to the following: U.S. military organizations, federal government-funded activities, activities empowered to perform a federal-government-legislated function, a DOD sponsored non-appropriated fund instrumentality, a State Department sponsored employee commissary located outside of the U.S., a foreign government when an authorized contractual relationship has been established, a federal government contractor, when the contract specifically provides for the purchase of stock fund items by the contractor and other entities when authorized by duly appointed officials. In some instances sales are only permitted to these entities if other conditions are met.

The Operational Ration Programs depicted in this brochure reflect the joint efforts of Industry, the DLA Troop Support, Joint Culinary Center of Excellence (JCCoE) and

U.S. Army Natick Research, Development & Engineering Center (NRDEC) on behalf of the Military Services.

FIRST STRIKE RATION (FSR)

WHAT IS IT?

The First Strike Ration (FSR) is a compact, eat-on-the-move assault ration designed for short durations of highly mobile, high intensity combat operations. The FSR is substantially reduced in weight and cube and enhances Warfighter consumption, nutritional intake, and mobility. The intended purpose of the FSR is for usage during the first 72 hours of a conflict in lieu of using Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MRE), which are heavier and more voluminous. The FSR has 9 packs per shipping container consisting of 3 each of 3 different menus. A new version of the FSR has been developed that consists of 9 different menus per case (please see notes below regarding availability). [Note: This is a ration, or the equivalent to 1 full day of food for 1 person. 1 ration equals 3 meals. Therefore, 1 FSR would be used in lieu of 3 MREs]. The net weight per case is approximately 29 lbs. and the cube per case is .99. The net weight per pallet is approximately 1,434 lbs. and the cube per pallet is 54.7.

WHAT IS IN IT?

The contents of one FSR provides enough food for an entire day in a mobile and combat intensive scenario and 2850 kilocalories.

HOW DO I EAT IT?

All components of this ration are eat-out-of-hand/eat-on-the move type foods that require no or little preparation by the Warfighter.

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

The shelf life of the FSR is (2) years at 80 ° Fahrenheit.

HOW CAN I GET IT?

The National Stock Number for a case of FSR is 8970-01-543-3458 (3 menu version) and 8970-01-584-8759 (9 menu version). The point of contact is Joe Zanolle, (215) 737-5648, DSN: 444-5648, email Joseph.Zanolle@dla.mil

COMMENTS

FIRST STRIKE RATION (FSR)

MEAL, READY-TO-EAT (MRE)

The Meal, Ready-To-Eat (MRE) is designed to sustain an individual engaged in heavy activity such as military training or during actual military operations when normal food service facilities are not available. The MRE is a totally self-contained operational ration consisting of a full meal packed in a flexible meal bag. The full bag is lightweight and fits easily into military field clothing pockets. Each meal bag contains an entree and a variety of other components as may be seen in the Table of Menus. For the current production year, menus 1 - 12 are designated case A, and menus 13 - 24 are designated case B. Each shipping pallet contains 24 A cases and 24 B cases. The net weight per case is approximately 22 lbs. and 1.02 cubic feet, while each pallet weighs 1,098 lbs. and is approximately 56.1 cubic feet.

The twenty-four different varieties of meals can be seen in the menu table. Components are selected to complement each entrée as well as provide necessary nutrition. Each meal also contains an accessory packet. The contents of one MRE meal bag provides an average of 1250 kilocalories (13 % protein, 36 % fat, and 51 % carbohydrates). It also provides 1/3 of the Military Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamins and minerals determined essential by the Surgeon General of the United States.

Except for the beverages, the entire meal is ready to eat. While the entree may be eaten cold when operationally necessary, it can also be heated in a variety of ways, including submersion in hot water while still sealed in its individual entree package.

Since mid-1992, a flameless ration heating device has also been packed into each meal bag to heat the entree.

The shelf life of the MRE is three (3) years at 80 ° Fahrenheit. However, the shelf life can be extended through the use of cold storage facilities prior to distribution.

The National Stock Number for a case of MREs (12 MREs per case) is 8970-00-149-1094. The point of contact is Debbie Sinno, (215) 737-3688, DSN: 444-3688, email Deborah.Sinno@dla.mil mailto:Deborah.Sinno@dla.mil

MEAL, COLD WEATHER/FOOD PACKET, LONG RANGE PATROL

(MCW/LRP)

The Meal, Cold Weather/Food Packet, Long Range Patrol (MCW/LRP) provides an operational ration for two separate operational scenarios. The Meal, Cold Weather (MCW) is intended for cold weather feeding, it will not freeze and supplies extra drink mixes for countering dehydration during cold weather activities. It can be issued at three per day for a complete cold weather ration. The MCW is packaged in a white camouflage pouch similar to the RCW. The Food Packet, Long Range Patrol (LRP) is a restricted calorie ration meant for special operations, where resupply is not available and weight and volume are critical factors. It is issued at one per soldier per day for up to ten days. The LRP is packaged in a tan camouflage menu pouch similar to the current MRE. The combined product assembly consists of twelve ration/meals packets per shipping container. The net weight per case is approximately 15 lbs. and 1.02 cubic feet, while each pallet weighs 758 lbs. and is approximately 56.1 cubic feet.

The twelve menus contain dehydrated entrée items as well as other accessory items. Each menu provides approximately 1540 kilocalories (15% protein, 35% fat, and 50% carbohydrate). One menu bag is used for the LRP, which is a restricted calorie ration that is designed to be used as one menu bag for one individual per day. The MCW requires three menu bags per person per day and provides for 4500 kilocalories that is necessary to replenish loss of energy from exertion in extreme cold.

The individual prepares the food. An average of 34 ounces of water is required to hydrate all components in the average individual menu bag.

The shelf life is 3 years at 80° Fahrenheit.

The National Stock Number for the MCW portion of the combined ration/meal is 8970-01-467-1753. For the LRP portion it is 8970-01-467-1749. The point of contact is Joe Zanolle, (215) 737-5648, DSN: 444-5648, email Joseph.Zanolle@dla.mil

The MCW will be unavailable for most of 2015 due to contract delays and larger than expected requirments from 2014 that absorbed stock.

TAILORED OPERATIONAL TRAINING MEAL (TOTM)

The purpose of this ration is to provide an alternative operational training meal in lieu of “sack lunches” and catered commercial meals to organizations that engage in inactive duty training (IDT), for usage in situations where employment of traditional operational ration meals is not mandated. The TOTM became available in May 2001. This effort is being executed to promote doctrine requirements and the “train as you fight” philosophy, while meeting the customers’ budgetary needs. As a training tool, this meal will aid units in gaining familiarity with the preparation, usage, consumption, and disposal of a pre-packed meal similar to the Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE). This meal is similar to the standard MRE in packaging and contains many of the same components. However, it employs commercial packaging to reduce costs. The TOTM is not an MRE, nor is it designed to take the place of the MRE. The Tailored Operational Training Meal (TOTM) is a totally self-contained packet consisting of a meal packed in a flexible meal bag that is lightweight and fits easily into military field clothing pockets. There are 3 sets of menus available (see menu descriptions below). Each set is comprised of twelve menus. Each case contains one of each menu, for a total of twelve meals per case. The TOTM may also be easily adapted for disaster relief efforts. The net weight per case is approximately 20 lbs. and .99 cubic feet, while each pallet weights approximately 1,023 lbs. and is approximately 52.7 cubic feet.

This ration employs many of the same components as the MRE. Menus typically contain a MRE entrée, wet-pack fruit, a beverage base, flameless heater, dining kit, and other assorted components. The contents of one TOTM meal bag provide an average of 997 calories.

Except for the beverages, the entire meal is ready to eat. While the entree may be eaten cold when operationally necessary, it can also be heated in a variety of ways, including immersion in hot water while still sealed in its individual entree package. A flameless heating device has also been packed into each meal bag to heat the entree.

This product is designed to be a “just in time”/Direct Vendor Delivery (DVD) item with a 7-10 day delivery time. The shelf life of the TOTM is 18 months at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. At the time of delivery to the customer there will be no less than 12 months shelf life.

HOW CAN I ORDER IT?

The Local Stock Numbers for the TOTM are: 8970-01-E10-0238 (Ameriqual), 8970-01-E10-0239 (SOPAKCO), & 8970-01-E10-0240 (Wornick). The customer has the option of choosing the individual vendor and the corresponding set of menus that they offer (please see below for menu descriptions and quantity/price information). The point of contact is Lorraine Zuchowski (215) 737-2671, DSN: 444- 2671, email Lorraine.Zuchowski@dla.mil

The TOTM is currently only available within the 48 state Continental United States (CONUS) region.

MEAL, ALTERNATIVE REGIONALLY CUSTOMIZED (MARC)

The Meal, Alternative Regionally Customized (MARC) is a self-contained, shelf stable meal that was developed by the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM)/Natick, Individual Combat Ration Team (ICRT), Combat Feeding Directorate (CFD) after receiving an urgent request from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to expedite the development of a suitable vegetarian ration with unique dietary and component requirements designed specifically for detainees at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (GTMO). The ICRT collaborated closely with DLA Troop Support and the U.S. Navy food service personnel at GTMO to determine salient performance characteristics and calorie requirements to maximize nutritional benefit and identify component restrictions. While created out of a need to support GTMO detainees, the meal may be used to provide for other detainees also. There are 10 different menus varieties. Each case contains 10 meals, 1 of each menu.

The final product configuration includes 10 different luncheon entrée menus containing food components familiar to Southwest Asian/Middle East populations and each is packaged in a single meal bag. The menu variety can be seen in the table below. Based on the product design parameters, the MARC does not include “prohibited products” such as beef, pork, poultry, or any other animal product or animal by-product in any of the entrées or meal components (note:

the MARC IS NOT kosher or halal certified). The contents of one MARC meal bag provides a minimum of 700 calories (9-15 % protein, 25-30 % fat, and NLT 60 % carbohydrates). .

Except for the beverages, the entire meal is ready to eat.

The shelf life of the MARC is a minimum of 12 months at 80 ° Fahrenheit from the time of product assembly.

Contractors will ship the MARC with no less than 9 months shelf life remaining.

The National Stock Number for a case of MARCs (10 MARCs per case) is 8970-01-499-7645. The point of contact Debbie Sinno, (215) 737-3688, DSN 444-3688, email Deborah.Sinno@dla.mil NOTE: There is currently no requirement nor a contract for the MARC.

MODULAR OPERATIONAL RATIONS ENHANCEMENT (MORE)

The Modular Operational Ration Enhancement (MORE) was developed to augment daily operational rations with additional components tailored to particular environments. There are two types of MORE, one targets high altitude and cold weather while the other is intended for hot weather operations.

Warfighters in extreme environments, such as cold weather, high altitude, or elevated temperature, require extra calories beyond the standard operational rations in order to combat weight loss and decreased physical and cognitive abilities.

The MORE provides the correct amount of extra calories for these specific environmental scenarios with the right balance of fat, carbohydrate, and protein. By augmenting the MRE™ or FSR™ with additional calories and nutrients, the Warfighter is capable of performing at maximum capacity in extreme environments. The MORE is not a replacement to the MRE™ or FSR™; it is a scientifically balanced addition that ensures peak performance in even the most austere battlefield locations.

MORE components are calorically dense and carry a balance of carbohydrates, caffeine, electrolytes, vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids. The MORE includes food components that are essential to improving the mental and physical abilities of Warfighters in demanding, extreme conditions.

The MORE-High Altitude/Cold Weather and MORE-Hot Weather are composed of developmental and commercial items, including caffeinated pudding, energy gels, carbohydrate-enhanced beverages, First Strike™ bars, carbohydrate-dense nut mixes, crackers, caffeinated gum and Zapplesauce®. Drink powders are issued in easy-to-use pouches hour-glass pouches.

The MORE has a shelf life of 2 years at 80°F.

The National Stock Number for a case of MORE- HIGH ALTITUDE (24 per case) is 8970-01-581-2505. The National Stock Number for a case of MORE- HOT (24 per case) is 8970-01-599-4327. The point of contact Joe Zanolle, (215) 737-5648, DSN 444-5648, email Joseph.Zanolle@dla.mil

The MORE is a “go-to-war” ration and is bought and stocked based on those requirements. Availability of the MORE may be limited or non-existent during peacetime if those requirements do not support buying and stocking the item.

UNITIZED GROUP RATIONS – HEAT & SERVE (UGR-H&S)

The Unitized Group Ration – Heat and Serve (UGR-H&S) is used to sustain military personnel during worldwide operations that allow organized food service facilities. The UGR-H&S is designed to maximize the use of commercial items and to simplify the process of providing high quality food service in a field environment. All components for a complete 50-person meal are included in the UGR-H&S, with the exception of mandatory supplements, such as milk and cold cereal, and optional enhancements like bread and fresh fruit and vegetables. The UGR-H&S module is characterized by tray pack entrees and starches/desserts. Currently there are 7 breakfast and 14 lunch/dinner menus available. There is no minimum ordering quantity required (i.e. orders for single modules are accepted). The UGR H&S Option is unitized into 3 boxes, which places 2 Fifty (50) Soldier menus on one tier of a pallet. One tier provides 100 meals and one pallet (4 tiers) provides 400 meals. UGR-H&S average weight and cube per module is 124.5 lbs and

5.25 cubic feet.

The UGR HEAT AND SERVE (UGR-H&S) traypack components are thermally processed, pre-prepared, shelf-stable foods, and currently packaged in hermetically sealed, half-size steam table containers. The container also serves as the heating pan and serving tray. With the exception of mandatory supplements, such as bread, milk and cold cereal, and optional enhancements like fresh fruit, vegetables, and salad, the 3 breakfast and 14 lunch/dinner menus contain all food items and disposable items (cups, compartment trays, napkins, utensils, and trash bags) necessary to feed 50 individuals.

Each menu, including mandatory enhancements, provides an average of 1450 kilocalories (14% protein, 32% fat, and 54% carbohydrates) per serving.

The UGR-H&S option has a minimum shelf life of 18 months at 80° Fahrenheit.

Each individual meal module has a National Stock Number (NSN). Requisitions are processed according to the supply procedures for each Military Service. The point of contact is Barbara Selander, (215) 737-4360, DSN 444-4360, email Barbara.Selander@dla.mil.

UNITIZED GROUP RATIONS – EXPRESS (UGR-E)

The Unitized Group Ration – Express (UGR-E) is a compact, self-contained module that provides a complete, hot meal for 18 Warfighters. Wiith the simple pull of a tab, the food is heated in just 30-45 minutes, and is served in trays to Warfighters like a cook prepared meal. The desire of field commanders is to provide a high quality group meal as soon as possible. Often, the logistics system will not provide for food service equipment and cooks to achieve this objective.

Further, in some cases, providing hot food to remote units via insulated food containers is not practical. Consequently, the UGR-E provides the capability of furnishing a hot meal without the necessity of equipment, cooks, fuel, or power.

Combat units that will benefit the most include small remote groups such as Special Operations Forces, Signal Corps, Military Police, Artillery, Military Transition Teams, etc. The capability afforded by the UGR-E offers an alternative to individual meals as the sole source of subsistence in austere, remote locations.

The UGR-E traypack components are thermally processed, pre-prepared, shelf-stable foods, and currently packaged in hermetically sealed, half-size steam table containers. There are currently 6 lunch/dinner menus approved by the Services (3 Breakfast menus are being worked on- . The module comes complete with all food items and disposable items (cups, compartment trays, napkins, utensils, and trash bags) necessary to feed 18 individuals. Each menu provides an average of 1300 kilocalories (12% protein, 38% fat, and 50% carbohydrates) per serving. Standard items that are included in all modules are coffee, creamer, hot sauce, gloves, box cutter, hand cleaner (towelette), dinner trays, dining packets, trash bags, and heater module.

The UGR-E option has a minimum shelf life of 18 months at 80° Fahrenheit.

Each individual meal module has a National Stock Number (NSN). Requisitions are processed according to the supply procedures for each Military Service. The point of contact Joe Zanolle, (215) 737- 5648, DSN 444-5648, email Joseph.Zanolle@dla.mil.

The UGR-E is a “go-to-war” ration. It is currently unavailable for the foreseeable future as there are not enough requirements to support.
