The Military Nutrition Division at the USARIEM defines nutritional standards for operational rations, develops nutritional strategies to support and enhance military performance during sustained operations in all extremes, and evaluates the effects of rations on health, nutritional status, and performance. The Military Nutrition Division has also conducted field trials on a cold-weather ration and a lightweight ration for special operations. Working with Natick’s Combat Feeding Directorate, a nutritionally optimized, eat-on-the-move First Strike Ration has recently been fielded.
