A self-heating, deployable group meal assembly and method of using same that includes a delivery system having individual delivery tubes for conducting the activating liquid from a source of the liquid to each of a plurality of individual heater trays containing heater material. The heater trays are disposed in a stacked configuration, each heater tray including a heater pad comprising a conventional heater material that exhibits an exothermic reaction when contacted with an electrolyte activating liquid, and a food tray containing a quantity of food sufficient for multiple individuals. A source of activating liquid for each heater tray in the assembly ensures uniform and efficient flow of liquid to each such heater tray, the sources of liquid being easily installed in a single step to activate the heater material on demand. In one embodiment of the invention, the heater pads comprise Mg-Fe alloy and the activating liquid comprises saline-water solution.
