Individual Emergency Ration. I think it is good to go. PO1 William "Chip" Nagel

Wow PO1 William "Chip" Nagel

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel sugar and high calorie density foods have always been in emergency rations. High calories to sustain intense activity in a small space.

Here is the DLA description of the General Purpose survival ration. http://www.dla.mil/TroopSupport/Subsistence/Operational-rations/gpi/

"The ration contains 6 compressed bars consisting of 2 cereal bars, 3 cookie bars, and 1 sucrose bar which are sealed in trilaminate pouches and packed in a water resistant, paperboard box. Lemon tea, and soup and gravy base are also included. Each packet provides 1447 kilocalories (5% protein, 39% fat, and 56% carbohydrate). It is designed to provide a maximum of 8% of the calories from protein in order to minimize metabolic water requirements."

Gravy base is code for bullion. So really similar ration. Just can't heat water in it, but that is what we have canteen cups.
