What you'll learn
- When European governments plan for larger armed forces and longer deployments, food can look like the least demanding part of the problem: food production appears abundant, and a combat ration can seem little more than a packaged day of meals.
- Yet the military value of food lies less in its existence than in its condition at the moment of use.
- A ration counts only if it meets a nutritional and safety standard, has been tested and accepted, has survived storage, has been assembled into the format soldiers carry, and has reached them together with the means to heat and eat it when no kitchen exists.
