UNCLASSIFIED Exchange BUY ONLINE PICKUP CURBSIDE What is Buy Online Pick Up Curbside? Buy Online Pickup Curbside is an extension of the Buy Online Pickup In-Store (BOPIS) click-to-brick program. It allows customers to purchase merchandise online at shopmyexchange.com, and pick it up at their local Exchange main store. The goal of the curbside pickup program is to provide customers with continued support, with greater convenience and minimal interruption to the Exchange shopping experience Prioritizing Health and Safety In light of the current situation concerning COVID-19, the Exchange has taken measures to ensure the safety of its customers and associates. The implementation of curbside pickup assists the Exchange in promoting strict social distances in line with health guidelines, as established by local installation commanders and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). How it works The program works similarly to the original BOPIS program. • Customers select and pay for their merchandise from shopmyexchange.com, selecting their desired Exchange location for pickup. • The customer is notified when their merchandise is ready for pickup via email. • Customer waits at the designated parking spots, reserved for curbside pickup. Customers are instructed to remain in their vehicles and to minimize close contact with Exchange associates, as much as possible. POC: Mr. Zottolo, 09802-958-1649 74

UNCLASSIFIED Defense Commissary Agency Defense Commissary Agency Military resale unites to support service members during COVID-19 pandemic DeCA Corporate Communications | Kevin L.

(Watch now: collaborative COVID-19 response) Around the world, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM), Marine Corps Exchange (MCX) and Coast Guard Exchange (CGX) are mission essential, while the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) is mission critical. All told, military resale supports Warfighters and their families with 300 main exchanges, 236 commissaries (more than 6,700 facilities) in nearly 40 countries. The joint buying alliance, signed in early 2019, has enabled exchanges and commissaries to significantly increase orders for high demand items such as cleaning and hygiene products during the pandemic by sharing sources and leads for constrained products. Additional recent protective measures instituted by military resale to keep communities safe include: Cleaning and disinfecting stores and restaurants. Reducing/changing hours for thorough cleaning and restocking. Deploying signs to remind shoppers of physical distancing guidelines, and in many cases, marking the floor to ensure shoppers keep 6 feet of distance while waiting in line. Serving grab-and-go meals to military children engaging in virtual learning in South Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Europe and Guantanamo Bay. More than 10,000 meals have been served during the pandemic. Encouraging “cashless” transactions. Canceling special in-store events to reduce crowds. Working with MILITARY STAR® cardholders individually on hardships. Cardholders can email militarystar@aafes.com for information. POC: Mr. Abrego 09802-83-7061 76

UNCLASSIFIED Defense Commissary Agency Defense Commissary Agency Actions taken by the commissaries are: • Mandating all customers and patrons entering a store wear a face covering for the protection of all. • Installing Plexiglas sneeze shields in all regular checkout lanes to add protection for customers and cashiers. • Wiping down checkout areas, product display cases, restrooms and shopping carts with disinfectant, and practicing routine hand washing and other basic sanitation measures to avoid spreading germs. • Enabled touchless credit card processing eliminating the need for the customer to sign. • Asking customers to scan their own ID cards so cashiers can provide them touchless transactions. • Securing supplies and personal protective equipment for frontline store employees. The agency is distributing masks and gloves to stores as fast as possible. • Discontinuing the use of shopper provided reusable bags. • Allowing only authorized customers – this includes disabled veterans with VHIC cards – will be able to enter a commissary. Visitors will no longer be allowed to accompany authorized customers and 100% ID check is in place. • Using critical hire authority to fast-track the hiring of store employees needed to help keep stores properly staffed. • Using store discretion in placing item purchase limits necessary to help maintain stock availability. • Activated its emergency operations center to mobilize the agency’s support to its 236 stores worldwide. • Supporting agent shopping service at local commissaries where installation leaders establish a process to recruit volunteers and connect them with the customers who need this service. • Canceling special events such as the spring sidewalk sales, in-store product demonstrations (including DeCA’s free coffee program), group tours, vendor-sponsored events and Month of the Military Child activities such as the coloring contest in order to discourage group gatherings. • Working jointly with installation leadership and public health personnel to implement risk reduction practices such as one-way aisles, designated store hours, and limiting the number of patrons in the store. • Increasing the number of airlifts to supply our OCONUS stores, especially in the hardest hit areas. The military resale family stands with military families. The exchanges and commissaries are all in for those who serve.
