 U.S. Army Rations Cartons - Intro   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Without the "luxury" of established mess halls and a relative variety of hot food prepared by teams of cooks, combat soldiers are limited to easily prepared and transported meals — i.e., canned and dried food in a box (or, today's "meals ready to eat" MRE's in a pouch).
The field rations of the 1940s were a compromise between caloric and nutritional specifications, suitability for mass production, and need for compact packaging.
In looking at the Army documentation on these cartons and wooden boxes, it quickly becomes clear which of these manufacturers did their homework.

 H-Net Review: Wayne Lee on The Rise and Decline of the Late Roman Field Army
Cromwell's thesis is that the mobile field army (and consequently, although not explicitly, "defense-in-depth" a la Luttwak) was a workable concept of defense for as long as the army incorporated Germans into Roman-like units (auxilia) under Roman discipline and alongside traditional Roman heavy infantry (the legions).
The question of the presence and role of the barbarians in the Roman army is an important one, but it is not clear that Cromwell's approach suffices to solve the problem.
Cromwell hopes that by analyzing the shifting organizational structure of the field army--that is, the various ratios of auxilia, legions, and later of federates (to put it in simple terms)--that he can make conclusions about the relationship between "Romanness," "Germanness," and military efficiency.
