Defense Commissary Agency

The Defense Commissary Agency, headquartered at Fort Gregg-Adams, VA., operates a worldwide chain of commissaries providing groceries in a safe and secure shopping environment to the most deserving customers – our military personnel, retirees and their families. Authorized patrons can purchase items tax free plus a 5-percent surcharge, which covers the costs of building new commissaries and modernizing existing ones.

We strive to offer a valued benefit that contributes to family readiness, enhances the quality of life for America's military and their families, and helps recruit and retain the best and brightest men and women to serve their country.
