ration packs

Soldier's portable food

Ration packs are prepackaged meals designed for military personnel in the field, containing preserved food that requires minimal preparation.

They typically include an entrée, sides, snacks, and accessories like utensils and heating elements.

The term extends to similar emergency food supplies for hikers or disaster preparedness: Each soldier carried enough ration packs for three days.
