The approved feeding standard is three quality meals per day achieved by using a combination of unitized group rations (UGRs) and individual operational rations (primarily meals ready to eat (MREs) or first strike rations (FSRs)). During initial deployment to an undeveloped area, ration support is on a push system. Operational rations are used for all meals. MREs can be used as the sole ration for up to 21 days, but after 3 days require supplements (see DA Pam 30-22 for additional guidance). Planners include religious and dietary requirements in their Class I estimates. Chaplains provide assistance in validating requirements but are not the means for ration distribution. Make requests in sufficient time to allow for delivery (see table G-22 on page 280 for operational rations planning factors). G-50. Units can request, contract, or requisition from higher echelons, fresh fruits and vegetables. These food products are generally delivered as part of a theater contract to units below the theater level. Fresh fruits and vegetables and other food stuffs can be obtained locally when approved by veterinary services and prepared by unit cooks or contracted personnel. CL I Water G-51. Storage and distribution of potable water are supply functions. Water purification is a field service. Water is required for drinking, cooking, hydration, sanitation, medical treatment, mortuary affairs, construction, decontamination, and maintenance. The amount of water needed depends upon the regional climate and the type and scope of operations.
