K-ration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Due to its use by Airborne troops, however, the K ration was thereafter viewed as being a successful, lightweight, and easily-issued source of food for frontline troops. As it was based on an emergency ration, the K- lacked roughly 800-1,200 of the calories required by highly active persons (such as men at war). Developed using ideas from the USAAF's bailout ration, the K ration first saw use in 1942, when it was issued to US Airborne troops for testing. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/K_rations   (488 words)

HISTORY OF RATIONS Ration, small detachment, 5-in-1, is designed for conditions where small groups of men are able to prepare hot meals with rudimentary cooking facilities, or where large groups may be divided into bodies of 5 or 10 men for the purpose of feeding themselves. The purpose of this ration was to serve as the principle ration for subsistence of troops in all areas in advance of the field kitchen, but prior to engaging in actual combat, for troops isolated in small groups, and for highly mobile troops. The D ration was intended to allay worst hunger of a single missed meal; the C ration was considered too heavy and bulky for mobile units. www.qmfound.com /history_of_rations.htm   (5949 words)

The main trouble with the C ration in combat, when you often had to eat it for days on end, was its weight and bulkiness. We found the C ration a great improvement over the earlier, standard field ration which usually consisted of a waxed-paper wrapped sandwich of dry bread and a slice of salami, thrown at you by the mess sergeant as you filed by. www.indianamilitary.org /NEWSLETTER/2003/Feb2003   (3849 words)
