 Base exchange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exchanges on Army and Air Force bases are operated by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), while those on Navy and Marine Corps installations are operated by the Navy Exchange Service (NEX) and the Marine Corps Exchange (MCX).
With the exception of a small number of military personnel detailed for duty with the exchange services, exchange service employees' salaries are paid from revenues generated from sales of merchandise and not from funds appropriated by Congress.
While exchanges claim to offer significant savings and offer a valuable service to service members without vehicles, in recent years that claim has often been disputed by service members who regularly find lower prices in the surrounding communities, even when the lack of sales tax on exchange purchases is taken into account.
