Shoppers save at commissary
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- The Vandenberg Commissary has been in operation since 1958. The history of the commissary benefit stretches back to the establishment of the Army’s Subsistence Department in 1775. The department began selling items “at cost” from its warehouses to officers in 1825, to officers’ families in 1841, and to enlisted men in 1867. The last date is considered to be the birthday of the modern commissary system. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Antoinette Lyons)
