The Meal, Ready-to-Eat, or MRE, is a self-contained, individual field
ration in lightweight packaging procured by the United States Military
for its service-members for use in combat or other field conditions
where organized food facilities are not available. The MRE replaced
C-rations in 1980 and was the successor to the so-called LRRP ration
developed by the U.S. Army for Special Forces and U.S. Army Ranger
patrol units in Vietnam.
Specifications:
- Each meal provides approximately 1,200 Calories (1,200 kcal
or 5,000 kJ).
- General contents include: a main course high in starch;
crackers; a cheese, peanut butter, or jelly spread; a dessert or snack;
powdered beverage mix; an accessory packet; a plastic spoon; and a
flameless ration heater (FRH). However, not every MRE contains all
listed items.
- Packaging requirements are strict. MREs must be capable of
withstanding parachute drops from 380 m (1,250 feet), and non-parachute
drops of 30 m (100 feet).
- The packaging is required to maintain a minimum shelf life
of three and a half years at 27° C (80° F) or nine
months at 38° C (100° F); additionally, short-term
temperature extremes of -51° C (-60° F) to 49°
C (120° F) must be sustainable.
- Each MRE weighs 380 to 510 g (13 to 18 oz) depending on the
menu.
Please note: MREs are sold in single increments and are randomly
chosen. Please contact our Customer Service Department if you have
special requirements. |
