S6-SR-A Survival Rations Type A

Basic quick to ready meals for survival ration stocks, or for use by personnel in the field. Is also sold commercially, and used as emergency kits across ships and other craft.

Overview

A line of meals that are preserved, and made easy to store for carrying into the field. It also provides a source of emergency food rations in case of crash, or disabling of vehicles, resulting in stranding of the passengers. Comes in a variety of choices for dinner, or breakfast meals that are quick to prepare. They hold all the necessary nutrients needed for active personnel in the field, and have been designed to have decent taste.

History

In YE 40 with the escalating expansion of Section 6 armed forces personnel numbers. The need for a line of rations were needed to keep a growing army fed, as well as up to the quality of being able to withstand life on the battlefield. They saw service in mid-way through the year, but saw much more exponential use in the later part of year. Reliance on these rations and other lines of such, grew especially given the exodus to Sirris VI. This only increased into the new year of YE 41, where the armed forces continued to expand to accommodate the NDC's vulnerable state. They were then offered commercially for use by civilian buyers, as well as third parties.

Packaging

Each ration is stored in a weather proofed mylar lined pack. This depending on the meal, comes in a graphene pouch or tin style tray made on durandium. Both types are kept in a graphene box for added protection. Only labeling is the listing of the health information on the pouch/tray, and the ration series as well as meal contained on the front of the outer graphene box.
