Combat Ration Pack
Each Combat Ration Pack comes in a metallic pouch, which contains foodstuffs for one complete meal (including vitamin supplements) along with salt and water puri-tabs, a protein bar and minor medical supplies. No cooking is required but most troops either use open flames, squad hexamine stoves or their tank armour to heat them where possible. These packs are more or less sufficient to keep a soldier fighting, albeit flavourless (or worse, bad tasting) and unappealing for extended use.[1]

Much the same as a regular pack, but includes higher-energy items for troopers conducting forced marches or intense activities away from central command.[1]
Standard Ration Biscuit
Affectionately nicknamed 'trench-filler', the Standard Ration Biscuit contains high levels of protein, gluten, sugar and carbohydrates.[2]
