8. FOOD FOR FIELD USE

Food for use in the field. Just put hot water in to the bag and after 2 minutes you will have a very good warm dinner.

   
Drytech have developed their concepts in close cooperation with the Norwegian Army and the defence organisations of the other Scandinavian countries. The concept is based on freeze-dried meals that after rehydration have retained their consistency, aroma and nutrient content. The meals are also extremely light in weight and can be stored for extended periods.

The meals are included in Drytech's field rations, which are put together in order to meet the dietary and nutritional requirements of each soldier, even for longer periods. Laboratory tests of nutrient content and an increasing range of individual meals and ration menus, maintain the needs of soldiers in the field.

All meals and rations can be prepared quickly (5 minutes) without the need for anything other than warm water. In extreme cases cold water can be used, however rehydration can take up to 30 minutes.

Drytech can also assist normal kitchen requirements, for example during periods when catering personnel are unavailable or in cases of unforeseen demand. Each meal can be supplied in bulk, making it easy to prepare meals for large numbers of people. Other advantages of the products are that they can be stored for long periods and preparation does not require large numbers of kitchen personnel.

Real Field Meal

Real Field Meal is a series of complete stew meals that are made mostly from fresh Norwegian ingredients. The stew is carefully freeze-dried using a drying process specially developed by Drytech, a process that retains taste, aroma, appearance and consistency.

Real Field Meal dinner menu comprises of 14 different meals that are available in tow sizes: 520 and 700 kcal. They are easy to prepare: Add hot water to the pouch, stir well and allow the meal to rest for a minimum of 5 minutes. The stew is then ready to eat directly from the pouch. The product has 5 years shelf life from the date of production.

Real Field Meal breakfast menu comprises of 7 different meals. To prepare the breakfast meal: Add hot or cold water to the pouch, stir well and allow the meal to rest for 1-3 minutes. The meal is ready to eat directly for the pouch. The product has 3½ or 5 years shelf life from the date of production.

The Real Field Meal pouches are light weighted and require little space. All you need is hot water and a spoon. To preserve the heat, we recommend eating it straight out of the pouch. An opened pouch should be treated as a fresh product, approx. storage one week in a refrigerator. If water is added the product should be consumed within 2 hours.

Field rations
Our field rations contains of 3 chambers: breakfast, lunch and dinner with Real Field Meal as the main meal in each chamber. The chambers are gas- and waterproof.

The whole ration pack has a shelf life of 3 years; however some of the contents, for example the main meal, have a shelf life of up to 5 years from the production date.

Field Ration 3500 kcal is a complete ration pack for 24-hours. By using 7 breakfast menus and 14 dinner menus, the FR 3500 kcal is packed into 7 different menus that give variation throughout a whole week. The calorie content is approx. 3500 kcal and each pack weighs 900 g. Preparation of meals and drinks requires approx. 3 litres of water.

Field Ration 4500 kcal is suitable for Special Forces that have a higher calorie requirement than average. The menus are the same as for FR 3500 kcal, but the main meal in the lunch and dinner chambers are bigger.

The calorie content is approx. 4500 kcal and each pack weighs 1.1 kg. Preparation of meals and drinks requires approx. 3.2 litres of water.
