Modular Operational Ration Enhancement (MORE)

[Treesuit]

From my point of view and somebody who's lived on a steady diet of MRE's this seems like it's maybe tailored to snacking on stuff in a desert environment, kind of what Big Mark said. I mean, when I was in Iraq in 2005 the last thing I wanted to do in the 100 degre weather was scarf down a MRE. I was more concerned with geting more water and gettting behind something. It seems from the photos that this is a streamlined MRE, even more slimmed down than the FSR, judging by the looks of it.

I think it's good idea to put something out in the mainstream for the troops but since we have the FSR, why not stick with that?

Could it be Natick taking a leaf from the MOD, possibly from the MultiClimate Ration - http://www.sourceuk.net/article/11/1196 ... ckets.html ?

Our rations have this thing whereby you can get additions for hot or cold weather - hot = an extra packet of screech (the juice powder), cold = a package of porridge. As well as any half-decent CQMS trying to get a bit of fresh or at least container meal/range stew to the lads when poss. But this MORE does seem a bit OTT.

Unless maybe it is meant for mountain conditions for blokes working at altitude in Afghan? Must lose quite a bit of weight going up and down bloody great hills all day with all that fighting kit on...

Britman has the right suggestion what it's for.

This is mostly carb food. A sustained energy replacement.
Does not seem to be much protein in the mix.

Probably won't see much action eather. The President
says we are leaving Afghanistan and Iraq by 2010 and 2012.
