Combat rations, also known as field rations or ration packs, have been used by the armed forces for decades. However, they've come a long way, both nutritionally and in terms of technology (i.e. you no longer need fire to have a warm meal). These rations are specifically tailored to national tastes and most have various menus available. Modern combat rations also cater to those who have special dietary requirements.
