Introduction

Unitied Group Ration (UGR)

PURPOSE:

The Unitized Group Ration (UGR) is designed to simplify and streamline the process of providing the highest quality

meals in the field by integrating Heat & Serve (H&S) and A-Rations with quick-prepared, user friendly, brand name

ommercial products. The UGR is used to sustain groups of military personnel during worldwide operations that allow

organized food service facilities. It is an integral part of the Army Field Feeding System (AFFS).

CHARACTERISTICS:There are three UGR options available which include: the UGR-H&S, the UGR-A and the UGR-B. All UGRs have 14

unch /dinner menus with three, seven and five breakfast menus respectively. Each module provides 50 complete meals.

The H&S and the B-version are unitized into three fiberboard cartons, including disposables. Each pallet contains 8

modules or 400 meals. These are assembled at Government depots and have an expected shelf life of 18 months at

80 F (27 C). The UGR-A is a build to order ration with assembly and direct delivery by the vendor with a 15-day

order ship time within CONUS and a 45-day order ship time for OCONUS. It has a shelf life of at least three months

emaining for CONUS deliveries and at least 5 months remaining for OCONUS deliveries (at 80 F (27 C) for semi-

perishables and 0 F (-18 C) for perishables).

Average Weight/Module: 87 pounds for A, 125 pounds for H&S/BCube/Module: 5.25 cubic feet

NUTRITIONAL DATA:

or UGR-H&S/A: Each meal, including mandatory supplements, provides an average of 1450 kilocalories (14%

protein, 32% fat and 54% carbohydrate). Breakfast supplements include bread, milk and cold cereal; the lunch/dinner

upplements include bread and milk.

or UGR-B: Each meal provides an average of 1,300 kilocalories (15% protein, 30% fat and 55% carbohydrate).

PREPARATION REqUIREMENTS:

Trained food service personnel prepare the ration using organized food service facilities.COMMENTS:

The H&S metal tray can has been replaced

with the polymeric tray container; phase-in

was completed during the 2003 production.

Customer-driven menu revisions are made

annually under the Fielded Group Ration

Improvement Program.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this ration is to provide an alternative operational training meal in lieu of sack lunches and catered

commercial meals to military organizations that engage in inactive duty training. It may be used in any situation wher

traditional operational ration meals are not mandated. The TOTM became available in May 2001. This effort was

executed to promote doctrine requirements and a train as you fight philosophy, while meeting the customer budge

needs. As a training tool, this meal will aid units in gaining familiarity with the preparation, usage, consumption, and

disposal of a pre-packed meal similar to the MRE. This meal is similar to the standard MRE in packaging and contains

many of the same MRE components. However, it employs commercial packaging to reduce costs. The TOTM is not a

MRE, nor is it designed to take the place of the MRE. The TOTM is a totally self-contained packet consisting of a mea

packed in a lightweight flexible meal bag that fits easily into military field clothing pockets. Three sets of menus are

available, as described on the following page. Each set is comprised of 12 different menus. Each case contains 12 me

one of each menu. The TOTM is easily adaptable for disaster relief efforts.

Weight: 20 pounds/case

Cube: .95 cubic feet/case

NUTRITIONAL DATA:Each TOTM meal bag provides an average of 997 kilocalories.


The entire meal is ready to eat, except for the beverages, which need to

be rehydrated. Although the entre may be eaten cold if operationally

necessary, a FRH is provided with each meal.

COMMENT:

The TOTM is intended only for situations where use of the MRE is not

mandatory.
