Combat Rations (CORANET)
Abstract
In FY 2008, the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) sold $4.45 billion in subsistence goods and services to the Department of Defense, making it DSCP’s largest supply chain. Sales in subsistence continue to grow, largely due to requirements for overseas contingency operations. The Combat Rations Program is focused on improving the manufacturing technologies related to the production and distribution of the combat rations that are at the forefront of these operations, including Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) as well as Unitized Group Rations (UGR). The objectives are increased readiness, improved quality, and better ration variety. CORANET research efforts also help control the cost of the combat rations. The CORANET program engages all elements of the supply chain including producers, military services, Army Natick, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), DLA, DSCP and academia to research and transition improved technologies for operational rations.
