MCW/LRP

(Meal for Cold Weather/Long Range Patrol)

 

This meal provides an operational ration for two separate operational scenarios. The Meal for Cold Weather (MCW) is intended for cold weather feeding: it will not freeze and supplies extra drink mixes for counteracting dehydration during cold weather activities. The MCW is packaged in a white camouflage pouch.

 

The Long Range Patrol (LRP) meal is very similar to the MCW, only LRP is a restricted calorie ration meant for special operations that can only be used by the soldiers once a day for 10 days. LRP is normally used in situations where re-supply of rations is not available and weight and volume are critical factors.
