The mission of the Department of Defense (DoD) Combat Feeding Program is to sustain the Department of Defense's most decisive weapons platform — the individual Warfighter. The contemporary operating environment requires state-of-the-art combat rations to provide for the nutritional needs of the Warfighter in a wide variety of situations, from peacekeeping to high-intensity combat and contingency operations. Under the auspices of the DoD, the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC) DoD Combat Feeding Directorate (CFD) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) - Troop Support employ a total life cycle approach in developing, testing, evaluating, procuring, fielding, and supporting all military rations. These rations are a vital contribution to the overall quality of life of the individual combatant.
