标题: MRE要下课咯？
First Strike Ration for the first to fight Warfighter

Eat-on-the-move items, light weight make product a Meal, Ready-to-Go
A new compact, eat-on-the-move assault ration is well on its way to Warfighters’ hands. “The First Strike Ration (FSR) is intended for the first on the ground, first to fight Warfighter,” said Barbara Daley, food technologist and FSR project officer, Combat Feeding Directorate (CFD), U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC). Usually when Warfighters are issued two or more Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MREs) they “field strip” them to lessen the bulk and weight they are carrying. Personnel at NSRDEC found that not only were Warfighters tossing what they considered extra weight, such as the flameless ration heater and Tabasco sauce, but they were also tossing food items. According to the Product Optimization and Evaluation Team at NSRDEC, if a Warfighter is given 3600 calories, often he or she will strip it down to 2500 calories.

A sample menu of a First Strike Ration.

The First Strike Ration attempts to reduce this stripping by providing a lighter and smaller sized package with eat-on-the-go items that are also performance enhancing. These items are calorically dense and provide appropriate nutritional content to the Warfighter for short durations of highly mobile, highly intense combat operations in order to give the Warfighters a needed source of energy to maintain physical performance. “There is little or no preparation of the food items that needs to be done by the Warfighter,” Daley said. Pocket sandwiches, First Strike energy bars, Zapplesauce™-a carbohydrate enhanced applesauce, high energy drinks, pouches of tuna and chunk chicken and caffeinated gum are some of the items that are included in the FSR. A sample menu can be seen in the graphic above right. The FSR is designed to be about half the size of the three MREs it replaces and it provides, on average, 2900 calories per day.

A Soldier samples a pocket sandwich, one of the componenets of the First Strike Ration.

“It is not intended to sustain the Warfighter for long periods of time,” Daley emphasized. Because of its lower caloric content, the FSR is classified by the Office of The Surgeon General as a restricted ration. As such, it can only be used as a sole source of food for ten days or less in accordance with Army Regulation 40-25. The FSR has a two-year shelf life at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to the three-year shelf life of the MRE. The shorter shelf life is due to the inclusion of some of the unique FSR components such as shelf-stable pocket sandwiches. The smaller size of the FSR enables a logistics reduction for the Army. It reduces the weight and cube by 50 percent compared to the MRE, but the FSR cases are designed to have the same footprint as an MRE case. With the FSR, there are nine meals per ship case, three of each menu variety. CFD conducted user evaluations on the FSR in Nevada and Germany in fiscal year 2004 andAfghanistan and Iraq in fiscal year 2005. When compared with a field-stripped MRE in Iraq in 2005, more than 70 percent of Soldiers said that the FSR was more convenient to carry and consume than the MRE.

The First Strike Ration reduces weight and cube by 50 percent when compared to the Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE).

“The best feedback we have received to date has been from Warfighters participating in OIF/OEF [Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom] in the mountains of Afghanistan and Iraq. They loved it,” said Daley. Over 6500 FSRs have been used in theater in response to urgent requests by 25th Infantry Division and the Marine Corps and modifications have been incorporated based on Warfighter feedback. One of the comments CFD received was: “You have created something great here. Do not fail in this ration. Need to make these happen for the Soldiers who go outside the wire. Could not get enough of them into theater,” from Lt. Col. David Exton, 25th Infantry Division. More recently, in July 2006, CFD conducted an operational test at Fort Bragg, N.C. With more than 100 Soldiers participating from an Airborne Infantry Battalion, one group consumed the FSR for three days while the other group consumed an MRE control for three days. Then the groups switched. From monitoring what the Soldiers ate and what they threw out, CFD saw less waste and greater consumption with the groups eating the FSR. Based upon these successful tests, and the introduction of this ration in-theater, the demand for the FSR is immense.

In November 2006, a Joint Services Decision Board consisting of the Army, Marine Corps, and Defense Logistics Agency approved the FSR for procurement and fielding. NSRDEC was able to compress the acquisition process by nearly 30 percent while maintaining support for all other ration platforms in order to maintain the schedule of 3rd quarter fiscal year 2007 procurement by Defense Logistics Agency/Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, with delivery in 4th quarter fiscal year 2007. The FSR has transitioned to CFD’s Assault/Special Purpose Ration Improvement Program so science and technology innovations can be inserted as early as possible. The CFD will periodically conduct field tests to collect user feedback. The Marine Corps is already asking for an expanded menu. And as with all operational rations, the voice of the customer will drive the menu expansion and continuous product improvement effort. As the military transforms to become a lighter, more agile and mobile force, the FSR will assist by lightening the load our Warfighters carry.

好大个包啊！看体积，一个小兵似乎背不了多少。

表只看图揣摩，拜托看完文字描述！一餐FSR比一餐MRE体积减少咯一半！

弱弱的问一下，一大包mre里边大大小小一堆小包，包装的壳壳都一大堆，如果是长距离侦查带的话这些垃圾是找地方卖掉？还是带回家涅。。。
吃过一包难吃的mre面对一大堆垃圾留下的困惑。。。。

看菜单简单了不少了。。。好像是设计出来就是随走随吃的，类似Ａ砖的东西。貌似没有加热包，而且回馈好像集中在方便携带方便吃这两方面。　热量似乎很富裕：２９００大卡每天（市面上常见的运动饮料，３３５毫升的大概提供１００多卡，５００毫升的１５０卡的热量。。。。看来又有人要胖了）

高温的储存环境下似乎保质期比ｍｒｅ短。　　看菜单的组成和ｍｒｅ区别不大，应该是营养浓缩了，觉得这个玩艺给精锐部队用还凑合。。。

以后直接发药丸，吃下去几天不饿....省了很多事情....

吃药丸已经落后了，FW-2025里面是通过战斗服内部的一种贴片一样的东西直接把营养剂直接渗透到肌肉里去。原理应该和超声波注射差不多。

战斗服要是破了呢？非战斗人员呢？

那东西其实只是NATICK的那帮家伙闲得蛋疼时搞出来的一个概念而已，况且我在兵器知识上看到这东西的时候，FW-2025还没挂呢。

啥东西最初还不都是个概念，将来用得着用不着很难说。就其功能而言，有好处也有坏处。反正现在还没有，讨论的意义不大

SEAL是埋掉的，MRE的大包装袋通常都可以留下装水，里面的小包装就是挖坑埋了。

正规军就不一定了，有乱扔的也有统一处理的

好像埋掉之前还要喷薄薄一层催泪喷雾，免得埋了之后小猫小狗什么的闻到残留的食物味道之后把东西给刨出来。

但是催泪瓦斯也是很容易被追踪的东西啊。。。还有，俺怎么记得是催泪粉呢？狙击手有用来驱赶动物的。

那应该就是催泪粉了，反正我只记得是类似名字的可以让小动物们扭头跑路的人工化学品。
