M.R.E

M.R.Es (Meals Ready-to Eat) is a self-contained field ration utilized by the various militaries around the world. It is also utilized by the members of N.A.S.A.

History
Since the start of the American Revolutionary War, soldiers were first issued a form of lightweight ration they used during their battles against the British and their allies. Later on the use of the lightweight rations and by the 1950s, the Meal Combat Individual Ration was born. The MCIs served up until the 1980s and that's when they were replaced by the more modern M.R.Es.
