Food Packet Long Range Patrol questions.

[janedoedad]

Have a Long Range Patrol tan bag ration that dates from 2001-2007. Menu 10 Scrambled Eggs w/cheese, Western Style. Not having much success finding out more about this ration. Would like to know the years they were made and find the case menu if possible. I know these went away with the advent of the MCW/LRP combined ration.

Any information is appreciated! THANKS!!

the LRP bags actually never swapped over from the 2007 style. So in reality it is likely from 2004-2016. Not seen any LRP made after 2016 sadly

Well, heck. That doesn't make figuring this out any easier.

Thanks for letting me know about the additional years this may be from.

Apparently, LRP's require extra TP.

Going to eat this over the next few days. Will post review in the appropriate topic.

Been looking for some recently made LRPs and I can only find older ones or just the entrees with unknown dates, did the government stop producing LRPs?

They were combined with the Cold Weather type MRE in 2016 or so. Some information on the main page about this under the MRE tab.
