MRE US Army® Combat Rations – Box A (Menu 1–12)

This MRE US Army® Menu A box contains twelve complete military field rations designed for situations where cooking facilities are unavailable. Each Meal Ready-to-Eat (MRE) is individually packaged and ready for immediate consumption or heating using a flameless ration heater (FRH). Such a food supply is practical for extended field stays, expeditions, or as part of emergency preparedness supplies. Open, heat, and eat – exactly as soldiers do in the field.

A Box of Military Field Meals

This box contains Menu A of U.S. military MRE rations. Inside are twelve different main entrées that form the core of each individual ration. Each meal is packaged separately, allowing the rations to be used gradually according to current needs.

Food Ready for Field Use

MRE rations were developed for soldiers operating without access to regular facilities. Their purpose is to provide a complete meal even when there is no kitchen, stove, or time for preparation. Simply open the package and the meal is ready to eat.

Heating Without a Stove

MRE rations include a flameless ration heater (FRH) that allows the main meal to be heated without an open flame. By adding a small amount of water, a chemical reaction generates heat and warms the entrée within minutes. This system was designed specifically for field conditions where stoves or fires cannot be used.

Field-Tested Military Solution

MRE rations are the standard field meal used by U.S. military personnel during operations. The packaging and meal components are designed to withstand transportation, long-term storage, and demanding field conditions.

Food Supply for Multiple Situations

A box containing multiple meal options is useful for longer outdoor trips, expeditions, or as part of emergency food reserves. Because each ration is individually packed, meals can be used gradually as needed.
