Evaluation of T-Rations and the Mobile Food Service Unit in a Field Exercise: Ft. Devens

Abstract

Recognizing that the Army's present combat feeding system is ill- suited to the battlefield conditions anticipated in future conflicts, a new concept was developed. This report presents the results obtained in a field evaluation of two key elements of the proposed combat feeding concept, the Mobile Food Service Unit (MFSU) and the T-rations. Three major conclusions are drawn from the evaluation: the MFSU can be efficiently operated by two personnel; the T-ration is an acceptable ration in the field; and heating, delivering, and serving the T-ration from the MFSU is a viable concept.
