It can be a bit finicky, so expect to spend some time getting used to how it controls. The combat is responsive, movement is fluid and doesn’t feel stiff like others in this genre, and the only iffy thing there is the zipline. These punches in turn charge your special meter, which in turn fuels any upgrade you pick up – such as a small scattershot electricity effect that gives your whip some additional range.Īgain, nothing too complex here, but what is there works well. However, it uses these to their absolute max, including things like punches instead of your regular weapon when you’re in close range. Control-wise, Steel Assault gives you free movement, an attack button, and a zipline – that’s it. So, don’t go in expecting this big multi-hour thing. It is not a long game by any means, which I guess kinda fits the arcade theme. Steel Assault took me just 55 minutes to clear, and that is with numerous attempts on some of the bosses. “Our MRE contractors will have no problem fitting the SDRs into their production schedule when required.”ĭLA Distribution is slated to ship SDRs after production to the locations indicated by FEMA, which will allow FEMA to allocate its manpower to other aspects of its mission of helping people before, during and after disasters.įEMA is one of more than 40 of DLA’s federal partners.First up – length. “The number of SDRs is a drop in the bucket compared to the MREs the vendors make every year,” said Harry Streibich, operational rations chief for DLA Troop Support’s subsistence supply chain. Vendors currently producing mass meal solutions for DLA such as meals, ready to eat, already produce millions of meals for the warfighter annually, thus the footprint of supporting FEMA does not strain the production capabilities for the vendors. “We have relationships with vendors of which we know have the capacity to mass produce high-quality products."ĭLA Troop Support’s longstanding procurement capabilities allowed a quick turnaround from FEMA request a unique feeding solution in July 2022 to DLA awarding a contract in December and FEMA receiving its first orders in January. “We want to make sure that we are providing the best for Americans in need,” Nguyen said. Tiendung Nguyen, individual rations branch chief for DLA Troop Support’s subsistence supply chain, has worked closely with the three DLA contractors to meet FEMA’s requirements. The agency will use 183,000 square feet less of warehouse space to store 27 million meals. SDRs also require less storage space since each unit replaces two individual meals. The packaging, feeding capacity and cost of SDRs are projected to save $66.5 million-every three years-as FEMA increases its stock to 27 million meals. The rations don’t require a heating element, which reduces environmental waste and eliminates the need for food preparation in emergency situations. The minimum shelf life is three years at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. SDRs currently include 10 unique meal packages configured with a full day’s worth of food for an adult in a single package. Through its whole-of-government program, DLA envisioned the Survivor Daily Ration to meet FEMA’s unique needs for a complete daily ration package. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support has long procured meal options for U.S.
