It's probably 10's of millions, some are deep frozen giving them nearly a decade of shelf life. The freeze dried over can style ration has been around since 1980 and they regularly are 5-7 years of shelf life if properly stored, though special operations and aviation had used MRE style meals since at least the 60's. The first one varied from decent to awful, the heater element didn't come about until the late 80's making even the worst menu choice palatable. I recall eating "Franks-and-Beans" and it was horrid cold, but okay warmed up.
To be fair, the 1989 ration guy said the other Chinese menu items were good, it's just the Pork Chow Mein (menu item 13) that is I assume made by a corrupt manufacturer that is vile and made him sick on his first try even though it was only a year old. He mentions how he partially ate a US Army 1906 emergency ration of dried meat and chocolate and felt great after...Comment

Looks like anywhere form 55M to 233Million depending on what a "case" is...
DLA’s MRE inventory levels fluctuate based on the flow of purchases
from industry and sales to the services, as shown in figure 3. Based on
data from fiscal years 2007 through 2014, on average DLA purchased 3.3
million MRE cases from industry per year and sold 3.56 million cases per
year to the services. The average on-hand inventory level was about 4.66
million cases. In addition, the data show that the average yearly MRE
sales to the services decreased from about 4 million cases in fiscal year
2010 to 3 million cases in fiscal year 2012 and remained relatively
constant at around 3 million cases from fiscal years 2012 through 2014.
There were also decreases in annual purchases from suppliers starting in
fiscal year 2010.

It was ridiculous and implausible, but wasn't gov't-funded propaganda. The writer/producer (forget his name) was a hard right borderline fascist that usually put out movies featuring authoritarian themes and violet solutions to problems.
Haven't seen it in years, but it's still one of my favorite bad films...Comment

I think on movies like Top Gun the military gets to sign off on the script in return for access to the hardware so kind of a bit like government funded propaganda.Comment
