First Strike Ration FSR - Menu 9 - Garlic and Herb Chicken and Italian Sandwich

First Strike Ration Menu 9 - Garlic and Herb Chicken and Italian Sandwich - 2025 Inspection Date

This Brand New First Strike Ration, or FSR with 2900 calories can last 7-10+ years if stored correctly. FSRs are compact, eat-on-the-move assault ration designed for use during initial periods of highly intense, highly mobile combat operations. The FSR is substantially reduced in weight and size and enhances soldier consumption, nutritional intake, and mobility. 1 First Stike has almost as many calories as 3 MREs making these great for mobility. 

The development of the FSR came from the fact that prior to deployment, soldiers would "field strip" their MREs. Field stripping involves removing all the excess MRE packaging and unwanted items - bags, boxes, heaters, extra spoons, accessory packs, etc. Creative field stripping could reduce 3 MREs - one day's worth - down to the same size as a single MRE. While this practice reduced the soldier's load by only packing the most critical MRE parts, it also led to increased waste and a reduced consumption of food. A single FSR, which is 24 hours worth of food, is approximately 50% the size and weight of three MREs.
