The IMP components are shipped to the Assembler. Their task consists of inserting all the individual components inside the overwrap. The combat ration assembly process begins in the first days of each calendar year. All combat ration component contracts state a specific delivery period to ensure timely receipt and inspection of all components. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure there is sufficient product to sustain the first assembly period and maintain the assembly line.
