Pentagon Abandons Its Support for Merging the Commissary and Exchange Systems

The Defense Department has scuttled efforts to merge the Defense Commissary Agency and the military services’ three separate exchange systems, finding that the plan would not result in the billions in savings originally projected in 2018.
In a report obtained by Military.com this week and sent to Congress in late August, defense officials said a new business case analysis of the proposal found no economic benefit to the consolidation and that it actually would cost the department an additional $1.5 billion.
