Note that many of the field craft tricks and tips that are still taught (e.g., tin cans with pebbles inside suspected from concertina wire as an anti-tampering alarm) were based on having the cans from the C-rats available.
One dodge that could be available in 1983 is Civil Defense fallout shelter supplies. Simply declare that the basement of the National Guard armory doubled as a community fallout shelter, and you can justify practically any amount of shelf-stable food by varying the size of the "community."
