Armed Forces Merchandise Outlet is a military and
outdoor gear supply store. The origin of Armed Forces Merchandise
Outlet goes back over 70 years to a small apparel manufacturer who
began producing high-quality trousers for the US Military. Public
demand for quality Mil-spec merchandise created the need for the Texas
Army Navy Stores chain in 1947. In 1996,
Armed Forces Merchandise Outlet became the first Military Surplus
Supplier on the Internet. It has since used innovative
information technology and
marketing principles
to remain a chief supplier to the United
States military.
