Troops from nearly 50 countries eat military rations every day that remind them of home. Photographer Ashley Gilbertson and food stylist Maria Washburn have done a lovely job of labelling and categorising each ration pack.
"Each year, among the countries with troops in Afghanistan — the current number is 47 — tens of millions of dollars are spent researching how to fit the most calories, nutrition and either comfort or fun into a small, light package. The menus and accompaniments are intended not just to nourish but also to remind the soldier of home."
