U.S. Marine Corps
ONS-01 is a field-ready performance and recovery nutrition system

ONS-01 is designed to extend physical output, recovery capacity, and musculoskeletal resilience during expeditionary operations, sustained field activity, and high-load mission environments.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES

  • High-density protein delivery with minimal logistics footprint
  • Optimized for connective tissue strength, joint resilience, and recovery, not bodybuilding
  • Supports neuromuscular recovery under prolonged load carriage and physical stress
  • No preparation, no cold chain, no cooking equipment
  • Predictable daily intake model (procurement-friendly)
  • Supports reduced overuse injury risk during extended training and expeditionary cycles

Integrates with existing Marine Corps ration and feeding frameworks.

WHAT IT IS

  • Non-perishable, field-deployable nutrition system
  • 3 sachets per day deliver 90 g of high-density protein in a compact format
  • Zero preparation. Zero refrigeration.
  • Designed for expeditionary operations, sustained field training, and contingency missions

WHY IT EXISTS

  • Marine Corps operations impose continuous mechanical load, impact stress, and fatigue accumulation
  • Load carriage, repetitive movement, and austere conditions compress recovery opportunities
  • Standard rations are designed to meet caloric requirements, not to optimize connective tissue resilience under sustained physical stress
  • Repetitive stress increases injury risk before performance visibly declines
  • Force readiness depends on durable joints, muscles, connective tissue, and nervous system stability

ONS-01 exists to increase physical resilience and recovery capacity so Marines can sustain high output across extended expeditionary operational cycles.

OPERATIONAL USE CASES

  • Expeditionary and forward-deployed operations
  • Sustained field training and load-bearing activities
  • Pre- and post-mission recovery support
  • High-heat, austere, and physically demanding environments
  • Supplementary support alongside standard Marine Corps rations

LOGISTICS & PROCUREMENT SNAPSHOT

This is what matters at scale.

  • GSA-listed non-perishable food (SIN 311423)
  • Long shelf life
  • Heat resistant
  • Compact storage footprint
  • No cold chain
  • Predictable daily intake model
  • Scalable supply with consistent dosing across units
  • Compatible with existing procurement frameworks

ONS-01 is not a meal replacement. It is a performance and recovery layer that complements existing military nutrition systems.

ONS-01 is designed to be issued selectively, not universally, based on operational demand and mission profile.
