These meals originally came in plain brown boxes, and food choices were limited. Taste was also an issue as well. After numerous complaints from soldiers military scientists decided to beef up their act and create better tasting foods in newly designed packages. The new bag designs came into play in 2008 along with the MRE XXVI.

In 1987 the MRE menu consisted of only twelve food items. As the years progressed the number of food items increased as well. Currently the numbers of food items in the Military MRE Menu 2011 are (24). While some of the food items are the same, there have been some additions, as well as some improvements. The military prides itself on healthy and well balanced meals for their working men and women. The menu changes as often as the military deem fit, they must constantly keep up with the needs and demands of it soldiers.

The basic menu consists of a combination of meats, pasta, and vegetables. With the new and improved menu, some new food items have been added and some previous food items have been removed. The menu of the new Military MRE Menu 2011 is as follows:

Chili w/ Beans, Chicken Fajita, Beef Ravioli, Maple Sausage, Mediterranean Chicken, Beef Patty, Beef Brisket, Meatballs w/ Marinara, Beef Stew, Chili & Macaroni, Vegetable Lasagna, Spicy Penne Pasta, Cheese Tortellini, Ratatouille, Southwest Beef & Black Beans, Pork Ribs, Pork Sausage w/ Gravy, Chicken w/ Noodles, Pot Roast w/ Vegetables, Spaghetti w/ Meat Sauce, Lemon Pepper Tuna, Chicken w/ Dumplings, Chicken Pesto & Pasta, and Buffalo Chicken.

The main new additions in the 2011 Military menu are the Lemon Pepper Tuna, Ratatouille, Pork Sausage w/ Gravy.  There has also been some food revision in the snacks, dessert, and condiment selection as well. The deleted food items from the 2010 menu are the Veggie Burger w/ BBQ Sauce, Sloppy Joe, and the Plain tuna. The Military MRE 2011 Menu currently has 24 menus and four accessories menus.

You can find military MREs or military grade MREs for sale on various websites and can be ordered online by anyone. They can be ordered by the case or per package. Every so often the military changes the way it does things. Obviously, the military scientists are always tinkering for the best taste and nutritional value.   In this case, progressive changes are good and the new military MRE menu is eagerly anticipated.

Military MREs are subject to stricter requirements than civilian MREs.  This is because these food rations are for operational and field use.  For highly active individuals, MREs must meet their nutritional needs.  Each military MRE is one self contained individual meal package which has about 1200 calories.  Each MRE case has twelve different meals so that provides the service members some variety which in turn encourages that proper nutritional needs are met.  Beyond nutritional requirements, military MREs meals are regulated for proper packaging.  This is to make sure that the MRE meal contents won’t be spoiled with variable temperatures from high altitude drops or scorching desert temperatures.  Therefore, the shelf life of MREs varies according to their storage conditions.  In ideal conditions, MREs are said to be good for as long as eleven years.  In high heat temperatures hitting 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees the expected shelf life is nine months.  For what is considered normal conditions, the shelf life is three and a half years at 81 degrees Fahrenheit or 27 degrees Celcius.

MREs have often been compared with freeze dried food as well since it is used by the government to provide for service members as well along with the disaster relief efforts.  Freeze dried food pouches and cans do have the advantage of having longer shelf life than MRE meals.  With the Mountain House freeze dried food, they purport to last up to 25 years in the right storage conditions.  Freeze dried food is easy to consume as well.  All you have to do is add water and it comes out tasting very much like the original menu.  You can also find pretty extensive menus for Mountain House freeze dried food.  As far as cost goes, freeze dried food costs less than an individual MRE meal.
