the authority conferred upon the President by section

4561(a), sections 6082(a) and (d), and section 9561(a) of

title 10 of the United States Code. Under this authority

the Secretary may prescribe a uniform military ration

applicable to the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

(b) Requirements. (1) Components and Quantities. The

components and the quantities of the uniform military

ration shall reflect military member preferences and

satisfy nutritional requirements. (2) Monetary Value.

The monetary value of the uniform military ration

shall be equal to the monetary value of the ration in effect on the day before the effective date of this order.

(3) Index. The Secretary of Defense shall establish, as of

the effective date of this order, an index composed of a

representative market basket of items equal in value

to the ration value. Subsequent to the effective date of

this order, and based upon the changing prices of food

components in the index, the Secretaries of the military departments shall periodically redetermine the

monetary value of the ration. The Secretary of Defense

shall review the index periodically, but not less than

once a year, to ensure that it reflects changes in food

service technology, scientific advances in nutrition,

the requirements of the Armed Forces of the United

States, and the food preferences of the enlisted members. Increases or decreases in the monetary value of

the ration that result from changes in the composition

of the food items making up the index shall not exceed

2 percent of the ration value annually.

(c) Regulations. Under regulations of the Secretary of

Defense, the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of

the Navy, and the Secretary of the Air Force are authorized, for their respective military departments, to

prescribe the issue of special allowances and such special or supplemental rations, defined by component,

quantity, or monetary value, as they may consider appropriate. Executive Order No. 11339 of March 28, 1967,
