Abstract

Annotation. According to the purpose of the work, a scientific analysis of the main principles regarding the organization of food supply for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) for the years 2002-2022 following the current legislative and regulatory documents was carried out. It was found that food rations for military personnel correspond to the current physiological norms in terms of energy value, protein, lipid and carbohydrate balance, as well as vitamin and mineral content. However, further improvement and introduction of new food products for military personnel, increasing the nutritional value of products, improving the technological aspects and tactical characteristics of daily rations, and increasing the shelf life of food supplies are of great importance from the point of view of hygiene.
