Norwegian Arctic Combat Ration Pack – Freeze Dried Norwegian MRE (SINGLE Meal)

One pack includes one full meal (approximately 1250 calories per pack). The Norwegian Arctic Combat Ration can be considered a Norwegian counterpart to the American MCW (Meal, Cold Weather) ration.

The Norwegian Arctic Combat Ration from Drytech Tromso is a modern, freeze dried military field ration designed for personnel operating in demanding environments where nutrition, mobility, and reliability are critical. Developed in Norway for Arctic conditions and extreme weather operations, these rations provide lightweight, high energy meals that are easy to transport and prepare in the field.

Designed as a replacement for heavier traditional military rations, the Arctic Combat Ration uses advanced freeze drying technology to reduce weight while maintaining excellent taste, nutrition, and long term storage capability. Similar in concept to the American MCW (Meal, Cold Weather), it is built specifically for cold climates, outdoor operations, and situations where carrying extra weight is not practical.
