NEXs and Navy Lodges to Remain During Government Shutdown
NEXs and Navy Lodges worldwide will remain open during the U.S. government shutdown.
“NEXs and Navy Lodges are non-appropriated funded activities and therefore will not be affected by any government shutdown,” said Rear Adm. Robert J. Bianchi (Ret), Chief Executive Officer, Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM). “Customers can still purchase the products and services they need at any NEX around the world. At this time, our stores will continue to operate at their normal hours and our Navy Lodges will remain open for our military families.”
NEXCOM’s mission is to provide quality goods and services at a savings and to support Navy quality of life programs.

NEXCOM’s mission is to provide authorized customers quality goods and services at a savings and to support Navy quality of life programs for active duty military, retirees, reservists and their families. NEXs and Navy Lodges operate primarily as a non-appropriated fund (NAF) business instrumentality. NEX revenues generated are used to support Navy Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) programs. In FY15, $2.5 billion in sales were generated with $22.3 million in dividends provided to Navy MWR programs.
