The five new varieties of the Combat Ration (One Man) 1976/77 Ration Packing Programme were trialled and compared with the 1975/76 Combat Ration (One Man) pack. The results obtained indicated that the 1976/77 pack, as a whole, was an improvement over the previous pack in terms of consumer acceptability and Service suitability. These results need to be confirmed at a further field trial. (Author)
