The Soldiers were part of NATO's annual Operation Reforger military exercises meant to thwart Soviet aggression during the Cold War.
Through its snack wagons and mobile field exchanges (MFE), AAFES for most of its history has served Soldiers and Airmen engaged in military exercises around the world, especially at the “tip of the spear.”
In 2016-2017, MFEs served American forces on military exercises in Poland, Ukraine, other former Soviet-bloc countries, South Korea and other crucial spots in the world, living up to the AAFES motto, “We go where you go.”
