USA MRE Unitized Group Ration EXPRESS 18 man ration kit with heaters

What is it? The Unitized Group Ration – Express (UGR-E) is a compact, self-contained module that provides a complete, hot meal for 18 Warfighters. With the simple pull of a tab, the food is heated in just 30-45 minutes, and is served in trays to Warfighters like a cook prepared meal. The desire of field commanders is to provide a high quality group meal as soon as possible. Often, the logistics system will not provide for food service equipment and cooks to achieve this objective. Further, in some cases, providing hot food to remote units via insulated food containers is not practical. Consequently, the UGR-E provides the capability of furnishing a hot meal without the necessity of equipment, cooks, fuel, or power. Combat units that will benefit the most include small remote groups such as Special Operations Forces, Signal Corps, Military Police, Artillery, Military Transition Teams, etc. The capability afforded by the UGR-E offers an alternative to individual meals as the sole source
