HISTORY OF THE ARMY + AIR FORCE EXCHANGE FROM ONLINE """"" During the mobilization efforts leading up toWorld War II, the War Department increasingly looked for ways to upgrade its antiquated post exchange system. After completing a review of existing exchanges, Lt. Col. J. Edwin Grose concluded that the Army would need to "become the operator of an extensive chain store system with world wide [sic] branches" to sufficiently meet the demands of a large-scale war effort. In April 1941, an advisory committee of five prominent retail executives affirmed this notion, recommending the creation of a central organization to oversee exchange operations. On 6 June 1941, the Army Exchange Service (AES) was created.[13]On 26 July 1948, AES was renamed the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, to reflect AES responsibility to serve theAir Force, which was created in 1947.[14] Since its establishment, the Exchange has been involved in 14 major military operations (to include World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, the Balkans and Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom) as well as several dozen humanitarian and disaster relief contingencies.[15][16] """" IT'S A GREAT COLLECTOR'S WW2 MILITARY ARMY EXCHANGE WATCH .
