study should consider at a minimum the following:
(1) Whether current lodging agreements with the

hospitality telecommunication services would be im-
pacted by privatization and whether the proposed 
change will have an impact on funds contributed to 
morale, welfare, and recreation accounts.

Exchange System to participate as a partner in the 
management of Army lodging would enhance the 
quality of lodging and improve access to such lodging 
as a nonprofit organization versus a partnership with 
a for-profit corporation.

result in significant cost increases to members of the 
Armed Forces or other eligible patrons or the loss of 
such lodging if it is determined that management of 
such lodging is not a profitable marketing venture.

the Army and Air Force Exchange System become the 
partner with the Army that would not exist were the 
Army to partner with a private sector entity.
