Coast Guard Highlighted Programs

The Mission of the Coast Guard Exchange is to provide quality merchandise and services of necessity and convenience to our Coast Guard men and women as well as authorized patrons at competitive prices.

The Coast Guard Exchange (CGX) is one of many support organizations within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

CGX is a military activity that operates as a business enterprise. Income generated is used as working capital to maintain CGX locations throughout the United States and abroad as well as to provide the Coast Guard with supplemental funding to the Morale, Well-being, and Recreation (MWR) fund. Because CGX provides services to its customers in remote areas, some locations operate with little or no profit as a benefit to military service members and their families.

Your Coast Guard Exchange (CGX) is there for you to shop for high quality merchandise and services at great prices! Additionally, CGX profits support MWR programs throughout the Coast Guard. In the last 5 years alone, CGX has contributed over $16M to support Coast Guard MWR!
