The RationA ration is the allowance (money) for the subsistence of one person for one day. It is based on the cost of a fixed amount of certain foods (such as meat, potatoes, bread, etc.) necessary for a workingman. As the cost of food in the different sections of the country varies, so does the cost of the ration. There are several kinds of ration based on what the soldier is doing and the climate he is in. If you are ever in command of a company, whether in the field or in barracks, one of your most important duties will be to supervise the cooking and messing of your company. You should, therefore, become familiar with the following rations: (1) Garrison rations. Used by troops in garrison and during peace and on manoeuvers. (2) Reserve ration. Carried on the person and in the trains. (3) Field ration. The ration prescribed by the commander of a field force. (4) Travel ration. Used when traveling. (5) Emergency ration. Used by troops on an active campaign in an emergency. (6) Filipino ration. For use of Filipino Scouts. Next: Property Previous: Transportation
