Unitized Group Ration - Express (UGR - E)
What is it?
 The Unitized Group Ration – Express (UGR-E) is a compact, self-contained module that provides a complete, hot meal for 18 Warfighters. Wiith the simple pull of a tab, the food is heated in just 30-45 minutes, and is served in trays to Warfighters like a cook prepared meal. The desire of field commanders is to provide a high quality group meal as soon as possible. Often, the logistics system will not provide for food service equipment and cooks to achieve this objective. Further, in some cases, providing hot food to remote units via insulated food containers is not practical. Consequently, the UGR-E provides the capability of furnishing a hot meal without the necessity of equipment, cooks, fuel, or power. Combat units that will benefit the most include small remote groups such as Special Operations Forces, Signal Corps, Military Police, Artillery, Military Transition Teams, etc. The capability afforded by the UGR-E offers an alternative to individual meals as the sole source of subsistence in austere, remote locations.
What's in it?
The UGR EXPRESS (UGR-E) traypack components are thermally processed, pre-prepared, shelf-stable foods, and currently packaged in hermetically sealed, half-size steam table containers. There are currently 2 breakfast and 6 lunch/dinner menus. The module comes complete with all food items and disposable items (cups, compartment trays, napkins, utensils, and trash bags) necessary to feed 18 individuals. Each menu provides an average of 1300 kilocalories (12% protein, 38% fat, and 50% carbohydrates) per serving. Standard items that are included in all modules are coffee, creamer, hot sauce, gloves, box cutter, hand cleaner (towelette), dinner trays, dining packets, trash bags, and heater module.

PLEASE BE AWARE that the UGR-E is a new item being procured and produced at the time of this writing. Factors such as unforeseeable/fluctuating demand, the industry base, and lead and production times may affect the availability of this item. The purpose of the ration, use in remote areas where there is no field kitchen equipment, and product/component availability will limit the item to OCONUS customers (at the very least during the initial months/year).
