Individual Rations

The Wornick Company has over 30 years of experience in the manufacture and assembling of individual operational rations.  An individual ration typically includes a wide variety of shelf stable components such as a main food entrée, side dish, snacks and an accessory packet (matches, toilet paper, gum, etc.).  These components are packaged to last up to three years at 80°F and provide soldiers with up to 1,400 calories per meal. Varieties of individual rations include the MRE (Meals, Ready-to-Eat), Tailored Operational Training Meal (TOTM), Humanitarian Daily Ration (HDR), Meal for Cold Weather/Long Range Patrol (MCW/LRP), and other individual type rations currently in development by the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Center and the Army Center of Excellence Service (ACES). These individual rations are exclusively designed for training, combat operations, humanitarian relief, and where severe cold weather conditions apply.
