- MREs are recommended during intense combat periods; only one hot meal is typically served at dinner.
- A field range can cook for up to 50 soldiers as a single unit.
Equipment Maintenance and Food Safety
- Cooking with an MBU requires a pot cradle.
- Ensure the generator air intake cover is on the cold position when temperatures are -5°F or below.
- Store perishables in ice chests for up to 24 hours.
Disposal and Sanitation
- Liquid waste should be disposed of in a soakage pit; solid waste may be buried or burned when no disposal arrangements exist.
- A chlorinating kit is necessary for testing water for chlorine levels.
- To disinfect cloudy water, use two iodine tablets per quart canteen.
- Maintaining 120 to 150 degrees F for wash water is essential in the Sanitizing Center.
Insulated Food Containers
