1st TSG (A) COMMENT: We have informed Natick again and again that Soldiers do not have the option to carry any more extra junk than needed and will strip-down MRES to the basic food parts. For details on simpler, decluttered MREs:

What can and should be done is use the MRE's accessory packet and spoon to provide a micro hygiene capability so Soldiers do not have to worry about having a PX nearby to supply them with shaving cream, razors, toothpaste, shampoo and soap while in a combat situation. Details:

Food-on-the-Move

Soldiers should be supplied heat tabs and Natick Stoves for use in mountainous areas provided they are trained in how to use them without giving off a smoke signature to the enemy:
