Individual Meal Pack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Individual Meal Pack or IMP is a field ration used by the Canadian armed forces. It resembles in many ways the US MRE. The IMP is designed to provide all the nutrition needed to sustain a soldier in the field for up to 30 consecutive days, with a shelf life of 3 years.
Three IMP meals a day provide approximately 3600 calories, enough to nourish a soldier undergoing strenuous physical activity.
