'''Military Rations''' are prepared, [[food preservation|preserved]], and packaged [[meal]]s that vary from country to country depending on [[diet]]ary needs and preferences. In a time of crisis, such as a natural [[disaster]] or other [[threat]], the [[government]], such as [[FEMA]], will often supply affected [[population]]s with these [[ration]]s while [[food]] is limited in availability.

A Ration of US design, based on the concept of the MRE. The HDR is used to provide a large population with food during an [[emergency]]. The HDR provides food that is acceptable those with both [[religious]] and dietary restrictions. The ration is mostly [[vegetarian]], with a limited number of actual [[animal]] based products inside. These have been air dropped in large quantities throughout various [[Middle East]]ern countries to feed [[refugee]]s and inhabitants. The HDR originally had yellow packaging, however, due to a similarity to undetonated [[explosive]]s that were marked with yellow the HDR packaging was changed to a light pink-orange packaging instead.
