Pacific Stars and Stripes

Abstract

The Pacific Stars and Strips (PS&S) organization publishes a daily newspaper, The Stars and Stripes, for distribution to DoD personnel stationed in Japan, Korea, Guam, and at other DoD activities in the U.S. Pacific Command. The newspapers are distributed primarily through contractor-operated bookstores that also sell books and magazines. Stars and Stripes (comprising organizations in the Pacific and in Europe) is a DoD nonappropriated fund activity, but receives appropriated-fund support. The U.S. Army has been designed as the Executive Agent and is tasked with providing administrative and logistical support to PS&S.
