Fueling Those Who Serve Then, Now and Ahead ⛽🇺🇸
For generations, the Exchange has helped military communities stay on the move.

Long before today’s Express fuel locations, military exchanges operated gas stations, service centers and automotive facilities that supported Service members and their families wherever duty called. From routine fill-ups to vehicle maintenance, these services played an important role in keeping military communities moving.
As the needs of Soldiers, Airmen, Guardians, retirees and military families have evolved, so has the Exchange. What began with traditional service stations has grown into modern Express locations offering fuel, convenience items, refreshments and everyday essentials in one quick stop.
While much has changed over the decades, the mission remains the same: serving those who serve. The Exchange continues to provide trusted value, convenience and support to military communities around the world.
Yesterday, today and tomorrow, the Exchange is committed to helping customers move forward, one stop, one mile and one mission at a time.
