VIETNAM "C" RATION
The figure "3" in "C-3" represents the third revision of specifications for components of what was known originally as the C ration. C-3 was composed of five full menus of a greater variety, and in addition to the new and improved B (bread) and M (meat) units, each menu contained an accessory packet, fruit, and cigarettes. The ration weighed 88½ oz., and was packed in 8 small cans; 3 of the cans, 1 for each meal, contained M (meat) components, which offered any one of 10 different varieties of meat; 3 more cans, again, 1 for each meal, include B (bread) components consisting of a unit of 5 crackers and 2 cookie sandwiches, a unit of pre-mixed cereal, jam, crackers, soluble coffee, sugar, cocoa disc, and another unit of crackers and jam. In addition, the C-3 contained one 12 oz. can of fruit, the accessory packet, and cigarettes with matches. Field cooking equipment was not required for the preparation of this ration. The C-3 ration was more adequate than the original C ration in respect to its nutritional value.(Source : http://olive-drab.com/od_rations_c2.php)
