A thermos flask with a heating element that is powered by
electricity run from an electrical generator. A mechanical spring
could be encorporated in the design as well.
When someone's body core temperature is low the best way
to increase the body temperature is a warm drink.
A soldier would find this useful.

Hello,

the human body consists mostly of water.
If a person with a weight of 80 kg has a body temperature of 35 °C for
instance drinks 0,5 kg of water with 50 °C, what would the body
temperature after a little time?
You mix about 50 kg of water with 35 °C with 1 kg warm drink with 50 °C,
the result is only 35.29 °C. In practice, the effect would be even
smaller.

It is nice for someone who feels a little cold, but it does not help
someone with a dangerously low body core temperature.

Why would a properly functioning Thermos need an immersion heater,
since they are already designed for the specific purpose of keeping
their contents hot or cold for a very long time?

Also, where would a soldier in the field come up with a source to
power such a device?

Why not just drop a RTG pellet in there such as Pu238?
