I mean, I realize by 1997 - starting equipment aside - that military units are living off the land (farming not only for fuel but for food as well), how much prepackaged food would trickle in?
Rations would be still held in europe but there issue would most likly be issued under the dire of curcumstances. You see an inceased use of feild kitchens, which would an issue for US troops as they are more ration oriented vs feild kitchen. Most US army feild kitchens are used for making Unitized Group Ration or B Rations.

Feeding (KCLFF).
