U.S. Marine CorpsONS-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
