MREs are carried aboard [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] vessels for use on the battlefield. A conventional MRE contains a single meal, consisting of pre-cooked food which has been vacuum-sealed into plastic containers or pouches so as to prevent spoiling.<ref | The concept of battlefield '''Meals, Ready-to-Eat''', or "'''MREs'''" for short, has not changed much over the past six hundred years.
