2021/2022 MRES - MRE42

Post by Smitty » Mon Mar 01, 2021 8:50 pm

The US Defence Logistics Agency just released their Assembly Contract Requirements for MRE42 early (The last three years they released them in August). I believe this will be 2022's

https://www.dla.mil/Portals/104/Documen ... e/m042.pdf

Of note:

Menu 11 - "Vegetable Crumbles in Pasta" will be "Pizza Slice, Cheese"
Menu 14 - "Creamy Spinach Fettuccine" will be "Mexican Style Rice and Bean Bowl"

I think we can all agree that the Spinach Fettuccine will be much missed.

Menu #12 and 22 lists a "Bread, Mini-loaf, sliced, whole wheat" Can we dare to hope??

To a lesser exciting extent - MRE41 info is here:

All the best, Gents.

Icing, Applesauce style items, BBQ "protein puffs" and strawberry and Blackberry Preserves look interesting- can't find the icing in a menu though
most wanted: RCIR, MCI/B units, IMPs, anything old, and a packet or two of RAFCO soup. PM if you've got these, or anything else to sell that isn't too expensive.

Banna pumpkin pruee, sounds pretty trash to me and I doubt the tartar sauce will hold up to time.

Apple pieces in spiced sauce is like eating the filling of an apple pie. Very tasty. Had one the other day at work.

I hope that tartar sauce is in the tuna
that new recovery bar is going to be hit or miss for sure, but the new wet pack fruits sound awesome. Never had anything like banana/pumpkin, but I don't have high hopes for that smoothie
