Variation is probably the most important part of the keep the troops happy. An interesting fact to this was a slave revolt in Cape Town. Lobster was so abundant and easily caught in the 1600s and 1700s that it was the base food for slaves. The slaves revolted and was appeased by and agreement with the VOC that they will not have lobster more than 3 times a week.

If the answer is food that is unfit for civilian consumption & military / prisoner use only. One half rat in one lasagna, never found the other half. When the DFAC makes literally everyone so sick you take microbial test strips to every utensil in it. And still soldiers have undiagnosed abdominal issues. You will be fed 5-7 year old mre’s. Whatever is in rotating stock.

There's actually a different reason lobster was considered worse than gruel back in those days. The reason being that it was common practice to kill the lobster before cooking them. Lobsters rot pretty fast after death since their bodies are just constantly fighting against bacteria and barely winning, which is why it's now common practice to boil them alive since you'd be killing all of that bacteria before it can affect the taste of the meat.

In Alaska soldiers eat cold weather MREs during the winter which contain more calories than standard MRE (because you burn more calories in the cold arctic weather) and it’s all freeze dried meals because standard MREs contain water which freezes quickly when temps are consistently below zero during the winter. Coldest I’ve seen it was -40 ambient with windchill down to -60. I had my energy drink freeze solid within 5 minutes of being outside.

FSR should’ve been included for the immediate “food on the go” during a few days period were combat is more extensive and the standard MRE isn’t available. HDRs are more or so less for humanitarian aid and include mundane and basic menus to apply to a larger scope of individuals who can’t consume beef or pork in countries where they are needed. I have heard stories from a few of my friends who were in various conflicts during 2003-2010 where all they had was HDRs and they hated them lol.

I served with the British Army, as a sapper for close to a decade. Some months after taking part in the invasion of Iraq and our only 'fresh' food being spam and processed cheese, we were slightly bemused to arrive (for three days R&R) at a forward supply base with Americans (who hadn't yet been warned about playing cards with Royal Engineers when money is on the line*), an upcoming concert by an ABBA tribute band, and mobile versions of Pizza Hut and Burger King. Won't lie. That first cheeseburger, after months driving about in the desert making enemy things explode into teeny tiny pieces, tasted so good it started an obsession. * The phrase "Let the Wookie win." was coined for moments like those.

When I served in the Austrian armed forces, we did not have such modern stuff as MREs, we just got a bag filled with seemingly arbitrary stuff - yet everytime there was at least a full pound of bread as one big bulk. As the bread was way to much for most of us, one could either find someone, who really ate it (a friendof mine did so) or just put it into ones own backpack. Or one could just throw it away amidst the nature - I mean it is bread, so who cares? Well a guy from the other plattoon was seen by an officer throwing his remaining bread away - I think that was a changing point in his life. The officer gathered the whole plattoon and let them search for more bread (which they luckily did not find) and then let them dig a grave for the brave comrade bread, who fell so meaninglessly, when on duty. They had to dig 2x1x1 meters and then put the brave soldier bread into it - of course with all military honors! They had to sing 'the good comrade' and fire a gun salute before closing the grave. I think these guys never ever threw away any of their field rations

Yes, I'm sure the enemy will count the amount of wrappers and rely on it as an estimate of troop strength.

Ive often wondered this. I mean how much food can you carry? They must have had wagons that were tightly controlled as well as a lot of pillaging going on. I suspect most armies literally pillaged and assaulted everyone they came across.

Depends. 40-60lbs would be decent for long distance. 80+lbs would suuuuuck for long distances. Mobility is also a consideration. One big pro to forrest or jungle war is water is everywhere so purification is your go-to. Ideally you wouldn't be a few days from a secure supply drop location. War is seldom ideal.

During those times, especially when field kitchens can't be established due to location, some troops would often rely on their rations for months...or just begin foraging and asking locals. Apparently this is the case in Ukraine in 2022 where Russians ask locals for food because their supplies almost never include food. In WW2 those assault troops of the US military rely on K-rations for months due to being overstretched.

Adding details to the meals of ancient warriors: An Athenian made fun of the warriors of Sparta, and concluded that their willingness to die in combat, was because of their food: "Black Soup", made of blood, salt, vinegar and pig feet. Also Roman legionaries had rations of salt, vinegar and pork fat/lard, as well as grain. Vikings had a version of hardtack, still used in Scandinavia, called "knekkebrød" ("breakbread"). They also ate a lot of fat food, like sausages, to better handle the cold, and onions to prevent scurvy.

Parachute drops of 1,250 ft... I'm curious, would the height make any difference with a parachute drop? Like 800 ft vs 2,500 ft? (And yes, I'm aware that there smore risk of drifting or parachute fold over at higher altitudes, but that's the same for any payload... what's up with the 1,250 ft restriction?

In the U.S military, daily meals are just like any other that civilians would eat. In combat, primarily MREs and Hot Chow (effectively better MREs that require actual preparation to eat)
