  • We are taking a look at a Dutch, Kingdom of the Netherlands Armed Forces, 24 Hour Modular Combat Ration. Impressive would be an understatement in describing this European contemporary to the U.S. MRE or Meal Ready to Eat. I don't think I've encountered a ration meal yet with as many drink items as this one contained. As a whole it was well-thought-out and quite comprehensive, not to mention tasty to boot. This is one of the most difficult to obtain military rations I've had the pleasure of reviewing and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do so without a very generous friend and viewer sending it my way.
    Thanks for watching!
    Huge thanks to Sunshine SideofLife77 for sending me this awesome ration. Check her channel out here- / @sunshinesideoflife7710

    Its funny but most of the dutch ration can be bought at local supermarkets . Like the jams , pates and even the travel lunches.And for a long time you could get those oldfashioned tins with emergency rations.
    There are a few different compositions as well , like cold weather suplements those are realy masive .
    When i was in the dutch navy we often made jokes about them on how on earth would be able to fight if we spend most of the time eating.

    A bit late to the party but just discovered your video. The PAPR KORIAN MIX is a mix of paprika spice and coriander spice.

      @@user-pc5qj2ix2c I believe it's a bit more subtle when it's not fresh, and most likely the paprika is overpowering as Dutch people seem to like that.

    actually we do have flameless ration heaters, but they are not included in the ration. they are transported seperately because its logistically easier. (chemicals, permits airfreight etc.)
    Those mess tin are only still use in cold weather enviroments i believe with naphtha burners

    Long time since I was in the Dutch military and the MRE's definitely have changed for the better. You can stretch this one over 48 hours easily. I like the spicy stuff they put in there. These aluminium messtins are good but the newer ones in stainless steel even better. I still use them in the field even direct on an open fire.

    These are the older generation, we have newer ones today. The content is mostly the same though.
    I personally am a fan of the Dutch mountain/artic rations, they have 5000+ calories and freeze dried mains, the mains are really good. I do not like most of the flameless heater main courses

    • @ReadinessRations
