JAKARTA - Going to the battlefield certainly requires a lot of special preparation for every combat soldier. Not only weapons, physical, mental, or strong field analysis.

Every soldier must be provided with high nutritional food to support the body to be strong in facing dangerous situations. Of course, serving practical food is the right choice. The ration is the answer to meet the nutritional intake of TNI soldiers.

The rations are packaged in cans or packaging which is also practical for presentation. Just open and immediately 'hap' into the mouth. In addition to the TNI, every soldier in the world also has a different ration with various food ingredients or spices.

Well, the following VOI summarizes the difference in rations between the TNI and the US Army as reported on the TNI AD's official Youtube channel, Monday, November 29. This moment occurred during a joint exercise between the TNI and the US Army some time ago.

Major Inf Roby, Katim Bulsi Garuda Shield 2021 initially showed the ration package and how it was presented. It's quite practical, because the ration with rice and beef mixture just needs to be put in a bag and hot water is added to warm it up.

The finished ration is then given to the US Army to eat. "This is Indonesian food rice. There is a mixture of meat and a mixture of spices," said Roby.

One of the US Army also said this is very similar to Japanese food, Teriyaki. "Yes, beef teriyaki," added Roby. One by one the US soldiers tried the Indonesian rations and seemed to enjoy the food.

What about US Army rations? One of the US soldiers said their rations were more like a Mexican concoction with the addition of a lot of spices.

"In the US Army, we usually use a lot of Mexican-style food with lots of spices. It's a great way to hide preservatives, we generally don't like it," the Americans said.

In addition to rations, the US Army also praised cake snacks with a sprinkling of chocolate, coffee, and chocolate protein.

"Your cake is much tastier than ours. Ours is crumbly and messy like it was made in a very old time," said the Americans.

"(Cake) Its name is naraga," replied Roby.

"We really like the taste of Indonesian-style beef teriyaki. We tried the coffee and the chocolate protein is very good and we love to eat it," replied the US soldier.
