No, those have been phased out for quite some time. They began being phased out in 1958 for the Meal, Combat, Individual Ration, which, in turn, were phased out for the Meal, Ready To Eat (more commonly known as MRE), which was first issued in 1981 and became a general issue item in 1986.
No, the US Military no longer issues K-rations. The K-ration was first introduced in 1942. The C-ration replaced the K-ration in 1948.
Yes, the US Marine Corps still has some improved versions in use.
M&M's were first developed for rations delivered to US military forces in Europe during WW2.
The US military used maggots for wounds.
I've been told that military and their dependents in Germany still get the ration cards because that part of the SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) between Germany and the US stipulates that the military will pay US market prices for those items. From my understanding, the US does not want to renegotiate the SOFA because the German government wants to eliminate the fuel ration and collect taxes on the gasoline used by US servicemembers. (There is probably an environmental angle as well, since the Germans are passionate about recycling and low-emissions vehicles and some Americans here drive huge gas-guzzlers) The ration cards also include rations for hard liquor, tobacco and coffee. We've never come close to exceeding our rations of liquor and coffee, both of which we consume generous amounts. We don't smoke, so I don't know how large that ration is.
yes
Yes, and it still is. It's a military alliance with several nations in Europe.
Torture continued throughout the middle ages, and only began to disappear during the Eighteenth Century. The US Military and many other countries still use it.
In the US Military, that will depend on your rank, and how long you have been in service. There is also additional pay for quarters and rations if you are living/eating separately from the military, and hazardous duty pay for flight, parachuting, demolitions, and combat. Married soldiers may receive additional pay for families.
Yes it is still the military headquarters of the US armed forces.
Afghans typically use the US M81 woodland and three colour DCU uniforms. While most US military branches have phased these uniforms out, some units still continue to use them.
This picture is a Japanese Navy Shinmaywa US-2. This is a large patrol and rescue seaplane still in use in the Japanese Navy. I believe they may be the only military force still using large seaplanes.
Some military applications can be used by US civilians. Drones created by the US military can used by US citizens in some cases. Although it is unusual it is done.
