éste es el encabezamiento que aparece en cada uno de los diferentes menús listados en el documento que tengo. El documento es simplemente una lista de menús diferentes con alimentos diferentes en cada menú con sus correspondientes cantidades. Entiendo lo que significa pero no encuentro la manera adecuada y convincente de traducirlo al inglés.
El documento proviene de Lat. Ame. ¿Supongo que campaña aquí sería lo que en España se llamaría acampada?
Muchas gracias por vuestra ayuda.

Selected
MREs (meals, ready to eat) / 24-hour (operational) ration pack
The U.S. military uses "MREs", and the British the second option.
MRE stands for Meal, Ready-to-Eat and is currently the main individual operational ration for the U.S. military. MREs are meant to be completely self-contained meals that provide all the nutrition a solider-on-the-go needs to sustain him/herself. Typical contents include entree, side dish, crackers, peanut butter/cheese spread, desert, instant coffee/tea, matches, toilet paper, spoon, and a heater to heat the main entree. While everything in an MRE can be eaten cold, it usually tastes better warm.

The British use a ration called the 24-Hour Operational Ration Pack. Previous versions of this ration were called the ration packs (GS for General Service). Those rations included a lot of food in cans. By 1999, the GS rations were phased out and the newer GP (General Purpose) ration packs became the primary operational ration pack.

24-hour (combat) rations
(218 references to ["24-hour rations']; ) It seems that it's a military term. Maybe "combat" isn't necessary to add.

: of course there is a reference to the military, though it doesn´t have to be specially used from them, could also be eaten by civilians like in N.Orleans after Katrina. It is no camping rations

Thanks, Maiwel. I agree with all that you say. "Field ration" is OK, too, but the 24-hour part is important.

Hay un pequeño matiz entre las fied rations y las MRE (raciones preparadas): las segundas son individuales y van "enlatadas", no necesitan nada, solo calentas, en su caso,abrirlas y comerlas pero dentro de las raciones de campaña hay otro tipo deraciones de campaña, las colectivas: estan pensadas para pequeños grupos (tipo pelotón + - 12-15 hombres y aunque van envasadas, lo estan de foema colectiva. Ver "collective ration":Collective ration: ration foreseen and calculated for 10 people, recommended for situations in which users can eat together, either in refectories or out in the countryside, where the food supply has been interrupted. También es un tipo de ración de campaña.

: tambien me parece apropiado, lo dicho, no tiene nada que ver con acampada y si campaña, es un termino militar

Gracias, en el link viene la definición que no es especificamente militar: Field ration: designed to cover the nutritional needs of a person, usually during 24 hours for military or civil use.

Arcoiris
: I would add "daily" to match the original, although your definition states food allowance "for one day"
