CNN’s Barbara Star discusses combat rations, specifically those assigned to soldiers in Iraq ad Afghanistan.
Today’s combat rations are much better than they used to be.
The meals served today are of higher quality and go beyond the basics.
In this clip, the Army is allowing its soldiers to try its latest creations.
The meal rations featured in this video and in general, have a considerable number of calories and are especially designed for soldiers.
Soldiers need many more calories then the normal adult, up to 3 times the amount.
The newer combat rations, such as the ones featured in this video, ensure that soldiers get exactly what they need in order to withstand the rigors of battle.
