France uses a ration called the “Ration de Combat Individuelle Rechauffable” (Combat Ration Individual Reheatable), or RCIR. A single ration contains 3200 calories and is intended to provide the nutritional needs for one soldier for one day. RCIRs are delivered in boxes of 12 rations. A single pallet of RCIRS will contain 20 boxes or 240 RCIRs.

There are 14 menus in all and they are divided into two types:

Menus without pork, numbered from 1 to 7
Menus with pork, numbered from 8 to 14

Each RCIR meal box contains two ready-cooked entrees, one appetizer, one package of instant soup, cheese spread, salted and sweet crackers, breakfast kit, sugar, energy bar, chocolate bar, chewing gum, caramels, hard candies, multipurpose paper towels, water purifying pills, and a reheating kit (matches, fuel tablets, and a disposable folding stove).

Optimal age limit for use: 2 years minimum
Energy value: 3200 kCal
Variety: 14 different “menus”, of which 7 contain no pork (sans porc*) and 4 may be consumed without heating
Weight/Size: 1500g (3.3 lbs), 294L x 149W x 63H (11.6″ x 5.9″ x 2.5″) cardboard box in plastic wrap
Cost each to Ministry of Defense (1/1/04): 7.04€
Assembled by: ESCAT of Angers (an automated chain)

MRE stands for Meal, Ready-to-Eat and is currently the main individual operational ration for the U.S. military. MREs are meant to be completely self-contained meals that provide all the nutrition a solider-on-the-go needs to sustain him/herself. Typical contents include entree, side dish, crackers, peanut butter/cheese spread, dessert, instant coffee/tea, matches, toilet paper, spoon, and a heater to heat the main entree. While everything in an MRE can be eaten cold, it usually tastes better warm.
