Combat Rations (CORANET)

Abstract

In 2015, DLA R&D expanded the Combat Rations Network (CORANET) program to include the “Subsistence Supply Chain,” which consists of the supply chain for military subsistence, including combat rations, field feeding equipment, garrison feeding and “market fresh." The Subsistence Network (SUBNET) Program is a Manufacturing Technology Program and is the successor to the CORANET R&D program. SUBNET will form a community of practice to research and promote manufacturing improvements in the Subsistence Supply Chain with the goals of maximizing capability and capacity to produce and to encourage innovation and modernization needed to leverage the latest technologies. Funding and technical work for the SUBNET program has been reallocated to the Material Availability Strategic Focus Area. The SUBNET 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, leverage, implement, and transition improved technologies in the subsistence supply chain.
