'''Rations''' are canned or pre-packaged food for military personnel that is accessible and easy to prepare on the battlefield. Utilised by both the [[UNSC]] and the [[Covenant]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]], soldiers of both cultures generally regarded their ration packs as foul-tasting and awful.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Glasslands]]|Page=71}}{{Ref/Reuse|flood69}}


'''Rations''', like [[Meals Ready to Eat]], are food for [[UNSC]] personnel to eat in dire situations, such as being in a crashed [[Pelican]] or surviving through enemy patrols. They are also included in MRE.
==Types==
===UNSC===
{{main|Meal, Ready-to-Eat}}
Rations allow military personnel to eat in dire situations, such as being in a crashed [[Pelican]] or surviving through enemy patrols. Each [[UNSC Marine]] was equipped with a ration pack.{{Ref/Book|[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]|Section=[[The Mona Lisa]]}} An example of a ration pack is [[Meal, Ready-to-Eat]].


They are small grey cylindrical tins containing set ration meals, there are five of them in the armoury on ''[[Cairo Station]]'', about ten on [[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]] and six in the [[Brute]] armoury in [[Uprising (level)|Uprising]].
Other issued rations are small, gray, cylindrical tins containing set ration meals. There were five of them in the armory on ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]''.{{Ref/Level|[[Halo 2]]|[[The Armory]]}} During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], Marines stored rations in their outposts before abandoning them.{{Ref/Level|Halo 2|[[Outskirts]]}} During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], rations were found among the stolen UNSC properties in the [[Jiralhanae]] armory.{{Ref/Level|Halo 2|'[[Uprising]]}} Other examples include special forces emergency bars.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Glasslands]]|Page=71}}


They are mentioned in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' when [[Master Chief]] selects components from two MRE's and in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'' by [[Private]] [[Wallace A. Jenkins]].
Rations can also be used in disaster relief situations. For example, during the [[First Battle of Harvest]], ration packs were distributed to the colonists of [[Harvest]] after the planet's entire surviving population evacuated to the capital city, [[Utgard]].{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]|Page=290}}

===Covenant===
The [[Covenant]] also used food rations.{{Ref/Novel|Id=flood69|[[Halo: The Flood]]|Page=69}} Acts of cowardice in a battlefield could lead to the rations of an individual being temporarily revoked as a punishment.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]|Page=159}} [[Melissa McKay|First Lieutenant Melissa McKay]] described Covenant rations as a tube of bubbling paste, that "smelled like old socks wrapped in rotting cheese".{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Flood|Page=210}} Covenant forces also brought along food rations to [[Installation 00]] in [[2552]].{{Ref/Game|H3|[[Halo 3 Mod Tools|Mod Tools]]}}{{Ref/Level|H3|[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]}}
