Cold Weather 83 Evaluation of the Mobile Food Service Unit and Tray Packs

Abstract

This report details the field evaluation of the Mobile Food Service Unit and T Rations, two key elements of the proposed new USMC field feeding system for the 1990's, during the NATO exercise Cold Weather-83. Major conclusions drawn from this evaluation include: the Mobile Food Service Unit (MFSU) is a highly effective, labor efficient concept for extreme cold weather environments; proposed new system staffing levels which provide an overall 66% reduction in manpower requirements are adequate; and hot T Ration meals, to include regular and single hot-item meals (large portion of casserole or stew- type item) are highly acceptable in cold environments.
