The letter report is thus based on past reviews of AR 40-25, reviews of military rations and ration developments, workshops on nutrient requirements for military personnel in environmental extremes, and committee deliberations regarding the present version, and is a thoughtfully developed presentation incorporating the scientific opinion of the CMNR and comments of the anonymous peer review panel of the National Research Council.

From page 15...
... The CMNR further recommends that, if it continues to be the view of the OTSG, DA that the MRDAs and nutritional standards for operational and restricted rations are needed, then: the scientific expertise at USARIEM should be involved in the future in the development of such standards to assure consideration of the findings of research conducted by the Military Nutrition Division at USARIEM; · a joint review by nutritionists/dietitians from each of the services is desirable to assure consideration of issues of special concern to each of the branches of the military, in the development of these MRDAs and standards since they are applicable to the Army, Air Force, and Navy; and · timely consideration by the military of dietary recommendations developed by the Food and Nutrition Board should occur as new versions are released.
