ration pack
Soldier's portable food
A ration pack is a prepackaged meal designed for military personnel or emergency situations, containing preserved foods that require minimal preparation.
The contents typically include main courses, snacks, and sometimes heating elements—everything needed for a day's sustenance in the field.
Also called MRE (meal ready to eat) in U.S. military contexts.
