Three top vendors of military tactical gear, clothing and insignia were named by the Exchange as suppliers of the year during the Military Clothing Store conference.

โ€œThese suppliers play an integral role in keeping Soldiers, Airmen and Guardians outfitted,โ€ said JR Chidester, the Exchangeโ€™s divisional merchandise manager for Military Clothing. โ€œTheir unwavering support of the Exchange and its shoppers goes above and beyond. We are honored to recognize them for their contributions.โ€
