Abstract:

An evaluation of new items for future versions of the Meal, Ready-to-Eat MRE was conducted at Fort Drum, NY. The MRE XX was used for comparative purposes. Three groups of soldiers - members of Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie Companies - participated in the assessment. The evaluation consisted of distributing the MRE XXs to two of the Companies Alpha and Bravo, and distributing the test MREs to the remaining company. Surveys concerning the acceptability of new and current MRE items were collected daily.
