The U.S. First Strike Ration is issued to troops in the first few days of heavy combat - before any field kitchens are set up. And weighing about half of 3 MRE's - and taking up half the space. The easiest MRE to prepare and eat. This is part of the future in rations. And thank you everyone for watching & subscribing - hope you enjoyed this one, as I certainly did making it! -Steve
