C-ration
The C-Ration, or Type C ration, was an individual canned, pre-cooked, and prepared wet ration. It was intended to be issued to U.S. military land forces when fresh food (A-ration) or packaged unprepared food (B-ration) prepared in mess halls or field kitchens was impractical or not available, and when a survival ration (K-ration or D-ration) was insufficient. Development began in 1938 with the first rations being field tested in 1940 and wide-scale adoption following soon after. Operational conditions often caused the C-ration to be standardized for field issue regardless of environmental suitability or weight limitations.
The C ration was replaced in 1958 with the Meal Combat Individual (MCI).〔Meyer, A.I. and Klicka, M.V., ''(Operational Rations, Current and Future of the Department of Defense )'', Technical Report Natick TR-82/031 (September 1982)〕 Although officially a new ration, the MCI was derived from and very similar to the original C ration, and in fact continued to be called "C rations" by American troops throughout its production life as a combat ration (1958–1980).〔 Although the replacement for the MCI, the MRE, was formally adopted as the Department of Defense combat ration in 1975, the first large-scale production test did not occur until in 1978 with the first MRE I rations packed and delivered in 1981.〔''(MRE History )', MREInfo.Com, retrieved 4 August 2011〕〔Mason, V.C., Meyer, A.V., and Klicka, M.V., ''Summary of Operational Rations'', Natick, MA: U.S. Army Natick Research & Development Laboratory Technical Report TR-82/013 (June 1982)〕 While the MRE officially replaced the MCI in 1981, previously packed MCI rations continued to be issued until depleted.〔
