NATICK, Massachusetts - Developed by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center's (DEVCOM SC) Department of Defense (DOD) Combat Feeding Division (CFD), the Close Combat Assault Ration, or CCAR, is a new, lightweight, energy-packed, nutrient-dense, individual field ration that significantly reduces the volume and weight of rations warfighters have to carry. The CCAR features three menu choices and is now available to all U.S. military service branches for procurement through the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (DLA-TS). Pictured is a side-by-side comparison illustrating the volume and weight reductions between the existing standard individual ration Meal Ready to Eat (MRE) (left), the First Strike Ration (FSR) (center), and the CCAR (right).
