Combat Ration One Person

The Combat Ration One Person (CR1P), formerly known as the Combat Ration One Man (CR1M) is a self-contained individual field ration in lightweight packaging procured by the Australian Defence Force for use in combat or other field conditions where organised food facilities are unavailable.

[1] The CR1P consists of two vacuum-packed main courses, a midday snack, a number of sundry items (toilet paper, can opener, matches, scouring pad, etc.)

[2] The contents of the CR1P are produced by various companies within Australia and New Zealand with most of the food and condiments being items commonly found in Australian stores, such as Nestlé's Australian Defence Force Chocolate Ration, Uncle Tobys' Muesli Bars, and Bega Vegemite.

It is made to sustain a soldier for 24 hours in combat but can last up to 3 days in a survival situation.

[citation needed] The CR5P is the five-person variant of the CR1P, it is packed in a large box and contains enough food sources to last five troops 24 hours in a combat situation.
