Description
The US Government Issue Military Individual MRE (Meal, Ready-to-Eat) is a self-contained, shelf-stable field ration designed for military personnel and humanitarian aid. Manufactured by government contractors to meet strict military standards, each MRE provides a balanced and calorie-dense meal for individuals operating in demanding environments. Originally developed to replace canned rations, MREs have evolved through continuous improvements to enhance taste, variety, and nutritional value.
Each meal is packaged in a durable, lightweight, waterproof pouch designed to withstand extreme conditions, making them ideal for military deployments, emergency preparedness, camping, and outdoor survival. The packaging is engineered to endure rough handling, including parachute drops and high-temperature storage, ensuring long-term reliability.
An MRE consists of a main entrée, complementary side dishes, a snack, a spread (such as cheese or peanut butter), a beverage powder, and an accessory packet with essentials like utensils, seasonings, and flameless ration heaters. The inclusion of a Flameless Ration Heater (FRH) allows for easy heating without an external heat source, providing a hot meal in minutes.
These meals are formulated to supply a high-calorie intake, with each MRE containing an average of 1,200-1,300 calories. They are designed to meet the nutritional needs of active individuals. These MREs provide a balanced mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. MREs also include fortified beverages and snack items to ensure adequate energy and hydration in field conditions.
MREs are widely used beyond military applications, finding value in disaster relief efforts, survival preparedness, and outdoor activities. Their long shelf life, ease of storage, and self-sufficiency make them a practical solution for any situation where conventional food sources are unavailable.
PLEASE NOTE: There are NO refunds or exchanges on food items. MRE’s must ship via UPS/Fedex and therefore cannot be shipped to a PO Box address.
