What are the six Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) categories?

• A. MWR, Billeting, Exchanges, Fisher Houses, Stars and Stripes, Chapels
• B. MWR, Billeting, Exchanges
• C. MWR, Exchanges, Fisher Houses
• D. Stars and Stripes, Chapels, Exchanges, MWR

Answer: (A)

Non-appropriated funds cover specific on-base services funded from activity revenues rather than taxpayer dollars. The six categories recognized for NAF are Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR); Billeting; Exchanges; Fisher Houses; Stars and Stripes; and Chapels. MWR funds programs and facilities that boost quality of life—think recreation centers, gyms, clubs, and leisure activities. Billeting covers government-operated lodging for service members and authorized guests. Exchanges are base retail operations that provide goods and services to personnel. Fisher Houses offer nearby lodging for families of hospitalized service members. Stars and Stripes supports the military newspaper and related publishing activities. Chapels encompass religious programs and maintenance of worship facilities. This combination includes all the major areas funded by NAF, which is why it’s the correct set. The other options omit one or more of these categories.
