Check out this Hellenic Armed Forces (Greek) 24 hour MRE! Turns out about half of this ration was missing! Here is a list of the missing contents:
2x small packet of Honey
1x pack of Aspirin
1x pack of water purification tablets
6x packets of gel fuel
4x packets of sugar
1x pack creamer
1x packet of Ceylon tea
1x packet of salt
1x packet of Nescafe instant coffee
1x pack of matches
1x metal fuel and cooking holder
1x small pack of toilet paper
That means I am still looking for a complete Hellenic 24 Hour Ration so we can come back with a complete and proper review of a ration that quite frankly has not been properly documented in the U.S. as of yet. This ration seems very complete and compact if you include those missing contents - so it is safe to assume it is actually a very good ration. Still on the hunt after all!
Huge thanks to mremountain.com/ for sending in this ration! Check out MREmountain's shop, he sells US and International Rations!

As a current soldier serving in the Hellenic Presidential Guard, this video makes me incredibly happy for some reason... Some hints for the "Basic" look of the ration. Rations like these are mainly used on exercises due to the "defensive only " objectives of the army. Field kitchens are usually in close proximity so the use of rations of these type is uncommon and used by the Special Forces branches mainly. As for the "gouda cheese", this thing is given to the army free of charge lol. Its basically whats left of the cheese production and put inside a tin can. Edit: Btw, those hardtacks are basically packing almost 200 calories each. Its like eating a loaf of bread really... Greetings from Greece Steve

MaGioRaS that makes no sense I have nothing to do with Greece and how they went bankrupt. I am not sure the full story on how exactly they went bankrupt. Maybe poor decisions from their politicians. Maybe the country overspending on certain things. Maybe just bad times in general and nobodys fault. I am not sure as I don't look into that part of this. But their rations do look pretty good.

@SagratHGR 6 лет назад
The Greek MRE is basic because the Greek soldier that fights anywhere inside the Greek territory is always close to a supply line so they don't need a ton of survival material. The Greek army is not an offensive one and it's mostly designed to repel attackers and fight inside the borders hence there's no need for expensive rations that the US military uses for instance.

@damaskosc
@damaskosc 6 лет назад
Ok, let me drop some knowledge on you: - The biscuits are very thick and hard. You will need lots of water to wash them down with. - The cheese is kinda gross, until you learn how to cook it fondue style. Essentially, you cut it in a star pattern (4 lines, intersecting in the middle) and you put it to cooking. Once it stars to rise you must start turning it, into it's all melted. A little might get burned on the bottom, depending on the heat. Congratulations! You have some nice fondue to enjoy with your biscuits. Once I was taught the trick I even had it at home. Love it!

I am from Greece. Other Greek MREs used to have a mini alcohol stove, coffee, sugar, napkins etc. Fork and Spoon not included because everyone carries his own. All these canned meals can be found in every super market, except the cheese. It's produced just for the army needs and It's better if you can melt it first. But generally it has much less staff than other MREs.

Hi Steve, I enjoy your videos a lot. I was about to write you what was missing from the pack, but then I read your description. At the Hellenic Army we call the meat that you had Godzilla, as it's considered that it was canned 280 years ago (approx.). Therefore, I still remember that the cheese and the beef was surprisingly nice. The biscuits which are more like a hard rusk they could easily have you stuffed. Story says that these contain several calories for that reason. Greek style peas is called Arakas in Greek, and is a very tasty and simple to prepare traditional dish (fry chopped onions, add carrot and potato slices, add the peas, half cover with water, add tomato juice, olive oil, pepper, dill, let them boil till most of the water evaporate. When it looks like the canned one (40' approx), you'll have a delicious Arakas).

Almost every time I visit Greece, I try local hangouts. I went to one place away from the tourist areas, where they had peas served just like that. They had fresh dill and saffron. I learned Greek Saffron is a red spice that is grown in Northern Greece and harvested in October. It really makes great rice dishes as well. It’s extremely inexpensive in Greece compared to our Country. Also had wild boar that they caught in a mountain village eating all the grapes. The pork was the best I ever had. Greeks like to serve awesome food. Their prepackaged or junk food it so much better than our garbage. I thought this video to be interesting since my Husband’s cousin is currently serving in the Greek Military. What shocks me is there’s no coffee. Greeks love their coffee.

@MrNomadSpectre
@MrNomadSpectre 6 лет назад
2 vids in a row? You just made my day. For one additional reason as well. I have some insight to offer egarding the MRE! As a Greek, I served in the northern region of Greece and in the most gruesome - in Greek standard millitary training/service - millitary region, Evros-Orestiada-N.Vyssa. I served in 503 advanced/concealed force - borderline - infantry battalion (Frontier Defense) from May 2013 to February 2014 and I can confirm that this is the Special Forces standard ration. It is a tad bit different than the infantry's standard ration. Most specifically the can of pork seasoned with tomato sauce is strictly for the special forces unit. The "crackers" are called "Διπυρίτης" which is a mixture of rusk and cookie/crackers made of wheat flour, water and baked salt. If it can be preserved and stored in room temperature it can last for many years. It is extremely high on calories, pretty tasteless too and it is considered a common treat in the entire Greek/Hellenic millitary. It's also extremely helpful in snowy regions with low temperature as it can raise blood pressure and eventually keep you warm enough to be able to be alert. Now as far as it concerns the 4B, the safest bet is that this is slightly incomplete. There are several things missing as fellow Trash Man user commented below. The standard 4B for infantry contains 1 can of dry meat, (Pork is mostly for special forces) 1 can of Swan (ham), 1 pack of Gouda cheese , 1 can of peas or beans, 1 pack of coffee - standard nescafe, 1 pack of tea, 3 packs of sugar, multivitamins, 4 packs of water purification tablets and a pack of raisins. This is totally a repackaged ration. Lot of content missing. That's pretty much it. Thank you for this Steve!

In Greece i think the budget for military stuff was for better quality than this but middle men looked to gain profit over those military expenses . So the ypothetical cost of one ration is 35 euros and the actual cost is 5 . And the 30 is profit for the middle men. Thats one of the causes of the economic difficulties, many middle men put their hands in public money.

Hello from Greece... To speak about this more like Spartan ration we have to consider that on a war greece will call close to 2.000.000 men to arms... These men will have only one target to defend not do big offensives etc.... So these 2.000.000 have to have food to eat and have it ready when a war broke out... So these rations are produced stored and when are ready to expire army give them to soldiers to eat as lunch many times... Also in a war greeks will be supported by villagers give them sweets, fruits, maybe butchered sheeps, chickens etc... So its an archaic ration to do the job of a massive conscription army on a war that may last max to a month... Your ration is missing the accessory kit that has coffee, sugar, stove, weatherproof matches, and may medical kit... Gouda cheese have to be melted so to eat if you did that you ll find that would had perfect taste...

Greeting from Greece Steve. Most of the ingredients of the MRE can be found in a supermarket in civilian forms and rather cheeply {that may explain the pictures on the cans}. Greek troops are expected to carry their utensils with them. Although wet wipes are nowhere to be found in Hellenic Army formally, most troops carry pocket sized packages with them. Coffee, tee, sugar, salt, pepper, fresh salad and soft drinks are provided in crates not in MREs. Greek army is directed in defencive combat, so alot of small luxuries are provided through mass supply lines. Nominally I cannot remember a time I ate more Feta cheese than in the Army. And yes this hardtack is at the same time nice but also too thirst provoking. Although, not really modern styled, I heard many stories from sergeants, during NATO training operations, of Greek troops exchanging cans of beef and green beans with troops from other contries after the first days, for virtually anything, because of the "fresher more homecooked taste" of the cans. Don't really know if it's true, but I have heard the same story too many times to be completely false. I know only one thing for sure this "gouda cheese" surely sucks. :P
@GreekPreparedness
