Unitized Group Ration - Heat & Serve (UGR - H & S)

What is it?

The Unitized Group Ration - Heat and Serve (UGR-H&S) is used to sustain military personnel during worldwide operations that allow organized food service facilities. The UGR-H&S is designed to maximize the use of commercial items and to simplify the process of providing high quality food service in a field environment. All components for a complete 50-person meal are included in the UGR-H&S, with the exception of mandatory supplements, such as milk and cold cereal, and optional enhancements like bread and fresh fruit and vegetables. The UGR-H&S module is characterized by tray pack entrees and starches/desserts. Currently there are 3 breakfast and 14 lunch/dinner menus available. There is no minimum ordering quantity required (i.e. orders for single modules are accepted). The UGR-H&S Option is unitized into 3 boxes, which places 2 Fifty (50) Soldier menus on one tier of a pallet. One tier provides 100 meals and one pallet (4 tiers) provides 400 meals. UGR-H&S average weight and cube per module is 124.5 lbs and 5.25 cubic feet.

What's in it?

The UGR HEAT AND SERVE (UGR-H&S) traypack components are thermally processed, pre-prepared, shelf-stable foods, and currently packaged in hermetically sealed, half-size steam table containers. The container also serves as the heating pan and serving tray. With the exception of mandatory supplements, such as bread, milk and cold cereal, and optional enhancements like fresh fruit, vegetables, and salad, the 3 breakfast and 14 lunch/dinner menus contain all food items and disposable items (cups, compartment trays, and trash bags) necessary to feed 50 individuals. Each menu, including mandatory enhancements, provides an average of 1450 kilocalories (14% protein, 32% fat, and 54% carbohydrates) per serving.

The UGR-H&S option has a minimum shelf life of 18 months at 80 degrees F.
