Sustainment Planning Factors 18 June 2020 ATP 4-90 C-3 C-8. Class I planners can use the ration planning to help determine transportation and storage requirements. When unitized group rations (heat and serve) and unitized group rations (Option A) are employed, tonnage and cube figures will vary depending on the menu number. Data is also affected by the use of the milk supplement and authorized enhancements. Class I managers should know that tonnage and cube figures will be greatly affected based on the ration mix and ration cycle. The type of rations used will determine the weight and space used to transport the subsistence. Table C-4 shows the ration pallet planning factors for different types of rations. Table C-4.

The serving consists of a full day’s food for one Soldier and is equivalent to three MREs. 2. A pallet of FSR provides 1,296 meals (432 rations each containing the equivalent of three meals). 3. The weight for UGR & H&S pallets is an average of all the menus only. Each menu weighs a different amount based on the menu. 4. The number of servings on each UGR-A perishable pallet will differ depending upon the menu number. 5. The weight for UGR-A pallets is an average of all the menus only. Each menu weighs a different amount based on the menu number. 6. Pallet weight planning factors for bagged ice and FF&V are estimates only. Legend: l/w/h = length/width/height MRE = meal ready to eat LRP = long range patrol MCW = meal cold weather HDR = humanitarian daily ration FSR = first strike ration UGR = unitized group ration UGR H&S = UGR heat and serve UGR A = UGR A rations UHT = ultra-high temperature HCP = health and comfort pack FF&V = fresh fruits and vegetables cs = case bx = box U/I = unit of issue
