Thanks for the links, jfko6. There's a video out there that shows the UGR-Es in action. The UGR part is actually hidden in the last half of a First Strike Ration video. Here's the link:

http://www.amc.army.mil/amc/pa/dispatch ... chive.html

Look under 10/11/2006 - it doesn't mention UGR-E, but it's in there after the 2 minute mark.

I have a local copy of the video so I'll get it uploaded to YouTube this evening and post the link here, too.

Here's a YouTube link to the video I mentioned above:



The UGR-E stuff starts around 2:50.

Good video. I'm going to have to start hitting up some of my contacts in the base dining facilities (mess halls, for us old guys) to see if I can get my hands on any of these. If I do, expect pictures posted here.
