  • These Republic of China (Taiwan) Field Rations are on point. The Type A, B, C, and the self heating "Field Heated Lunch Box" are reviewed in a 24 hour layout. That FRH could heat that meal up even in arctic conditions. Take a food journey and try out some new things, because that's what life is all about.
    Also, I made a mistake with the intro title and put it as PROC when it is ROC. My apologies for the confusion, as there is most certainly a big difference. PROC is mainland China and ROC is Taiwan.

      @@cicadaknight3048 I dont know much about the ROC military specifically: but on the bright side in highly urbanized countries like Taiwan they often rely alot more on field kitchens so they often get access to fresh food pretty regularly and usually only use MRE's on training missions or sometimes if they're doing humanitarian missions. The Navy and Air Force especially rely more on kitchens then MREs even on deployment and training.

    Great video!
    Just discharged from Taiwan Army recently.
    About a month before being discharged, everyone in our unit got a pack of MRE Type C.
    We were told to consume those because they are going to expire XD
    The Type C I got contains some yolk biscuits other than maple syrup crackers. The yolk biscuits taste better in my opinion.
    And instead of dried mango, we got raisin. Chocolate syrup is missing (I don't think I will like it anyway :) ).
    Seems like what's packed inside is constantly changing.

      The US does use colorful and adorned MRE's but those are the humanitarian packages (ones meant for refugees and other civilians). The US did used to have cartoon instructions on some older rations but it seems like they abandoned cartoons in general by the end of the Vietnam War. They've seesawed back and forth over time from green to brown on colors too, likely because the US was focusing its attention on the grasslands and forests of western Europe and the jungles of Southeast Asia and Latin America, until the 90s when Middle East and Africa decided they needed to be the center of attention instead. Maybe once China gets serious about taking up the Soviets mantle of global imperialism we'll see a switch back to green to match the colors of trees and grass of Asia or maybe they'll just switch to grey to match the cities and skies of East Asia.

      I remember the first time I had it my reaction was basically the same as his. In America and Canada any kind of jerky is usually on a dryness level somewhere between edible and cardboard. So when I received it I was as concerned as he was by how moist it was even though I knew it was going to be different, didn't know how much. Unfortunately it's damn expensive to get it here.
