STANAG 2937 Survival Emergency And Individual Combat Rations

[rekrutacja]

I'm trying to get some information on NATO standard "STANAG 2937: Survival Emergency And Individual Combat Rations - Nutritional Values And Packaging". What i found is this funny presentation of italian Navy Captain Alessandro Pini:
http://www.militaryfood.org/powerpoint/ ... _APini.ppt

It says that final version of the standard should be published in september 2012. I couldn't find the text of the standard on line, but i found information how to get it:
ftp://ftp.rta.nato.int/Pubfulltext/RTO/ ... -ANN-H.pdf

So i just emailed NATO to send this document to me. Will let you know. If you have more information, just share it here

I got a reply from NATO:

Classification: NATO UNCLASSIFIED

Access to our website is limited to officials from NATO, EAPC, PfP, MD,
CC and ICI countries (certified by the NOS) and have a military or
governmental position/emailaddress.

The site is not open to industry. Release of STANAGs to industry is a
national responsibility.

You should be able to obtain these documents through your national
authorities/standardization office.

All non-classified STANAGs and APs are available at
http://nsa.nato.int/nsa/ under NATO Standards "Current Standards"

Still hunting for the latest version of the STANAG itself, but here's what appears to be an interesting NATO tech paper from March 2010 with all sorts of meeting details and tech details & appendices (LOADS of compare/contrast tables of different NATO rations)

Closer to what you seek, you can get a free 1987 version (PDF - some pages not tooooo clearly scanned) by registering for free here:

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you, this is very interesting. There is amazing comparison of nutritional value of different rations in this document. Great stuff.

I applied for STANAG standard to polish Ministry of Defence. I will make it available if they will answer my inquiry.

And I've requested information from the Canadian government on the work that's been done on updating the STANAG in question - will share if they do

Polish Ministry of Defense simply didn't answered my email. According to our law next step is to take them to "administrative court", but this will be costly and will take a lot of time...

Just received an update - since more than one Ministry will have to be involved in my request, it's going to take longer.

More, as/if I get it.....

.... from the Canadian military via access to information request: lots of e-mails regarding travel to the U.S. for meetings on the STANAG, and a manual on how STANAGS are ratified (available - 141 page PDF via Dropbox here).

More information may be available, but it appears either Canada's foreign affairs department or other nations have to be consulted before it can be released. Don't hold your breath - I've waited more than 18 months for foreign affairs information to be released via access to information legislation requests.

Hope someone finds it useful - more as it dribbles in.
