Evaluation of T-Rations and the Mobile Food Service Unit in a Field Exercise at Fort Bragg, North Carolina

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 the second field evaluation of key elements of the proposed combat feeding concept, the Mobile Food Service Unit (MFSU) and the T-ration. Three major conclusions are drawn from the evaluation. First, the T-ration proved to be an acceptable field ration. Next, the concept of heating, delivering, and serving the T-ration from the MFSU proved viable. Finally, the MFSU can be efficiently operated by two personnel.
