Polish 🇵🇱 and Romanian 🇷🇴 soldiers swap rations

Every military in NATO has its field ration, known as MREs (meals-ready-to-eat). While perhaps not the height of culinary expression, these rations give soldiers the calories they need to power through a hard day in the field. From Ally to Ally, their contents differ in sometimes small, sometimes big, but always interesting ways.

Watch a Polish and Romanian soldier swap their ration packs while on exercise near Craiova, Romania. With food ranging from canned pork neck to powdered orange juice, these two soldiers sit down and test traditional meals in a way less traditional setting.

After this tasting session, the ‘Red Scorpions’, as the 26th Infantry Battalion "Neagoe Basarab" of the Romanian Land Forces are known, trained alongside their Polish allies from the 12th Mechanised Brigade. They practised embarking and disembarking from armoured vehicles and clearing simulated explosive devices off of roads and vehicles. The units shared tactics and procedures, bringing them closer together and ensuring their ability to work effectively in a time of crisis.
