I just finished updating the website with a new section about the US military’s new First Strike Ration:

The First Strike Ration, or FSR, is a compact, eat-on-the-move assault ration designed for use during initial periods of highly intense, highly mobile combat operations. The FSR is substantially reduced in weight and size and enhances soldier consumption, nutritional intake, and mobility.

MREInfo.com’s main site was recently redesigned and moved from a static html-based system to a database-driven system. This should make maintaining the site easier and should allow me to update the site more often.

Even better, the new menu system should make navigating the system easier for everyone.

So check out the new site (click on the logo below) and feel free to send any feedback here.
