Combat Rations (CORANET)
Abstract
In FY 2010, DLA Troop Support Subsistence sold $4.7 billion in subsistence goods and services to the Department of Defense and other customers. The Rations portion of this business was $702M in FY 2010. The Combat Rations R&D funding request is .002% of sales. 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, optimum sizing for transportation and storage; 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 the producers, military Services, Army Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), US Army Veterinary Command, US Army Public Health Command, DLA Logistics R&D, DLA Troop Support Subsistence and academia to research and transition improved technologies for operational rations.
