SECTION I GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS As a@ result of five years' intensive research on the survival ration problem, it is now possible to conclude that one and the same survival ration can and should be used for any environment, whether hot, temperate, or cold; for any daily work load, whether heavy or light; and for any water intake, whether adequate or inadequate.- Iibrief, the all-purpose survival ration problem for healthy young men hes been solved for practical purposes. This final report will present our general conclusions and the general considerations upon which they are based.

one of which could be altered indepentently of the others. ‘These variables were: starvation, as compared with some food; different calorie intakes; different daily work loads (hard or light)

in final ranking of regimens: the worst possible survival regimen, starvation with limited water; and the ideal ration, unlimited water and unlimited fresh and frozen foods. All experimental regimens fell between these two extremes, but some were almost as deleterious as starvation, othexs much better.

SECTION IV THE COPOSITION OF THE ALL-PURPOSE SURVIVAL RATION The purpose cf the survival ration is to support the survival potential of the cestaway long enough to permit him to escape or evade capture. However, no one should ask the impossible.
