[quote=YINDUFFY,293880]When I read of the thousands of Chinese military troops sent for earthquake relief work after May 12, 2008, I immediately thought of an article I read on a military news site months ago. China, having never sent troops in any quantity outside its borders ( before the UN peacekeeping mission last summer) had not developed a system of field rations or adequately feeding troops in the field. Previously the troops would be fed through local supply and photos of troops used to keep order in the chaos of the Ice storms last winter showed they were not provided hot food or bevarages - only bottled water and pork sausages (eaten cold). I was wondering how the many troops in the remote parts of China affected by the earthquake were being fed and housed when so many locals were in distress and food could not be obtained locally due to the damaged roads, bridges and rail lines. U.S. military rations (MRE's) were distributed to Hurricane Katrina victims and humanitarian relief rations were distributed by the U.S. to earthquake victims in Pakistan. I am glad the the PLA has prepackaged military rations to feed the hard working soldiers in the Earthquake damaged areas.[/quote]
