'B' rations differ from 'A' rations in that they do not utilize fresh, frozen, or refrigerated ingredients. They are distinguished from field rations (such as the Meal, Ready-to-Eat or its predecessor, the Meal, Combat, Individual ration) in that they are ordinarily prepared in field kitchens instead of being distributed at the unit or individual level for immediate consumption.

  • 'B' rations differ from 'A' rations in that they do not utilize fresh, frozen, or refrigerated ingredients. They are distinguished from field rations (such as the Meal, Ready-to-Eat or its predecessor, the Meal, Combat, Individual ration) in that they are ordinarily prepared in field kitchens instead of being distributed at the unit or individual level for immediate consumption. Whereas historical 'B' rations were often prepared by trained personnel in field kitchens, the term increasingly applies to prepackaged rations that require minimal additional preparation in the field today, more analogous to group feeding rations such as 5-in-1 ration or 10-in-1 food parcel of the past. 'B' rations today may include the Unitized Group Ration B (UGR-B), a hybrid meal kit designed to feed a group for one meal. The UGR-B has several different varieties, including a tray-based heat and serve (T-rat) form, heated by hot water immersion when a field kitchen is not available, or the express form, with a self-heating module and disposable accessories.
