Why would a nation ration goods and services in time of war?
Goods may be rationed during wartime for a couple of reasons. When commodities become scarce (which can happen during wartime) and demand remains the same prices will rise, maybe a lot. Rationing reduces the demand and thus keeps prices from going out of reach for ordinary income people. Some commodities such as tires, gasoline, etc. are needed for the war effort, rationing makes them available for this purpose. I don't remember services being rationed but if they were it would be for the same reasons.

The Emergency Ration/Iron Ration/Eiserne Portion could only be consumed by the order of the officer in charge, otherwise the soldier could be charged and punished. During WW2, the US Army utilized the D-Ration, a hard chocolate bar fortified with oat flour and vitamins; three 4-oz bars constituted one days emergency ration, providing 1800 calories. The WW2 British Army issued the Emergency Ration Mk I, a flat tin about the size and shape of an Altoids tin, sealed with waterproof tape and containing: a 1.25 oz chocolate-nut cake (sort of like a dense brownie), sugar cubes, and enough powdered tea for a 12-oz mug. The Canadian Army had an Emergency Ration tin about the size and shape of a SPAM can, containing 12 milk chocolate tablets, 12 hard crackers, and 2 small bars of chocolate. The Germans used the same Eiserne Portion as during WW1. As in WW2, the British & Canadian Emergency Rations and the German Eiserne Portion could only be eaten on the order of an officer.
