Product Description

The US Military Vietnam Era Meal, Combat, Individual (MCI) is a significant piece of military history from the Vietnam War period. Introduced in the 1960s, the MCI was a key component of the US Army's field rations, designed to provide soldiers with a nutritionally balanced and portable meal during combat operations. Each MCI package typically contained an assortment of items, including main course entrees, side dishes, snacks, and beverage powders, all carefully packaged to withstand the rigors of field conditions.

The MCI was notable for its distinctive packaging, often featuring military green or brown tones with clear, informative labeling. This meal was engineered for durability and ease of use, with contents that could be eaten cold or heated over a field stove.

Today, a vintage Vietnam-era MCI is a prized collectible among military historians and enthusiasts. Its historical significance extends beyond its practical use; it offers a tangible connection to the experiences of soldiers during the Vietnam War, reflecting the logistical and nutritional challenges faced in the field. The MCI serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of military supply efforts during a pivotal period in American history
