Additional Equipment List
Remember-"live out of your ruck, fight out of your kit, and survive out of your pockets." -STS, WEBRPG 98'
K rations: The Army's newest ration back. In bivouac, the normal ration cycle is A/C/A, or hot breakfast, 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 consisting 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. The K rations are supplemented with fresh bread and salad. Feeds 6, 10kg per pkg.
