MREs, or Meal Ready to Eat, are pre-packaged meals
MREs, or Meal Ready to Eat, are pre-packaged meals that have been a staple of the U.S. military since the 1980s and are now widely available for civilian use as well. The MRE was first developed by the United States Army in response to a need for lightweight and nutritious food that could be easily transported on long deployments without needing refrigeration or other specialized storage conditions.
