- Beef Primal Cuts
- Chuck: This cut is found on the cow’s shoulder area and is considered to be among the most flavorful and can be cut in a variety of ways, giving customers numerous options to choose from.
- Brisket: This cut is obtained from the breast of the cow under the first five ribs. The flat or lean is noted for containing less fat and when prepared properly it is one of the most flavorful cuts of meat. Brisket needs a lot of time at a lower temperature to tenderize.
- Shank: Right in front of the brisket, comes the shank cut. This cut requires a lot of preparation to tenderize it and is mainly used in the preparation of soups and stews. Shank cuts are usually cooked for extended periods allowing the meat to tenderize as much as possible.
- Rib: This cut is obtained from the last 6 to 12 of the 13 pairs of ribs on a cow and are known for their tender, flavorful nature. The high amount of marbling in these cuts is one of the main reasons behind their rich flavor.
- Short Plate: The short plate is found in the abdomen area of the cow, below the rib primal. Plate cuts tend to have a tight grain structure and are fattier than rib cuts. For this reason, they offer a great quality-price ratio.
- Short Loin / Sirloin / Tenderloin / Top Sirloin / Bottom Sirloin: The loin is located just behind the ribs, at the top part of the cow. It is the most tender and usually divided into two main parts, the sirloin and the short-loin. The meat tends to be quite tender. While the sirloin is slightly tougher than the short-loin, it is considered to be the more flavorful of the two.
- Round: At the hind legs and rump of the cow you have the round cut. While this primal cut of beef tends to be lean, it is also tougher. The round cut is among the most inexpensive beef cuts you can find in a grocery store.
- Pork Primal Cuts
- Shoulder Butt / Picnic Shoulder: Cuts from the upper portion of the shoulder are well marbled with fat, making them ideal candidates for slow-cooking methods like braising, stewing, or barbecuing. Cuts from the arm, or picnic shoulder, are a bit more economical than those from the blade area but are otherwise quite similar.
- Loin: The area between the shoulder and back legs is the leanest, most tender part of the animal. Rib and loin chops are cut from this area, as are pork loin roasts and tenderloin roasts. These cuts will be dry if overcooked.
- Spare Ribs / Belly: This is where most bacon originates and is typically broken down into the pork side and pork spare ribs. It's common to pan-fry bacon and pork belly while going the traditional low-and-slow route with smoked ribs.
- Ham: This is a straightforward primal cut of pork that includes the back leg up to the hip and the main product is ham of all kinds — country-style, spiral sliced bone-in, etc. — which is cured and then smoked to complement the pork’s natural flavor. This area also produces pork leg steaks, whole pork leg shanks, ham hocks, and dry-cured prosciutto.

Service approved animals in the Commissary
Disabled patrons who rely on service animals trained to assist them will be permitted to bring their service animals into the commissary while shopping. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets.
Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 28 C.F.R., Part 36, "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations and in Commercial Facilities, (Reference (bb)).
Disabled Veterans
Non-retiree military veterans that have at least a 0% disability rating are authorized to shop at the Wright-Patterson Commissary. Your Veterans Health Identification Card (VHIC) must have VA Healthcare Enrollee and Service Connected on the front. For access to WPAFB, you will need to visit the Pass and Registration office first. They are located just outside the perimeter fence line, near Air Force Materiel Command, at 4185 Logistics Avenue, WPAFB, OH 45433. Pass and Registration personnel will then add your VHIC to their system for base access.
Caregivers can also accompany the veteran as long as they have a Primary Family Caregiver Letter. Caregivers eligible under this act will receive a letter from the VA that indicates they are the primary family caregiver for a veteran enrolled in the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers. This must be presented at Pass and Registration along with an authorized government-issued ID. For additional information, please call the VA Caregiver Support Line at 855-260-3274 or go to their webpage at:

If the federal holiday falls on the weekend, we will have our holiday hours on the actual day of the holiday, not on the federal holiday observed date.
Are there plans to close the Commissary?
The commissary will remain open to support the Wright-Patterson military community. The resupply lines are severely stressed with deliveries arriving on a daily basis. However, with enhanced patron shopping the merchandise is purchased as soon as it comes available. Therefore, we placed limits on certain items in an attempt to support as many patrons as possible.
How is the Commissary addressing replenishing stock?
The commissary management assures patrons shelves will continue to be stocked and product availability will be maintained and secured. Deliveries have been increased to the store to ensure product availability, particularly on items that are in high demand such as disinfectant wipes and toilet paper. From a product availability standpoint, the commissary is continually working with industry suppliers and installation senior leadership to support the needs of the Wright-Patterson community.
Is the Commissary limiting the number of people allowed in?
Not at this time.
How are we protecting Commissary employees?
The Defense Commissary Agency adheres to established cleaning and sanitation protocols. Masks are also available to any employee upon request.
How are we protecting Commissary customers and employees?
In addition to offering face coverings for employees and customers, commissaries have implemented the following operational policies to help make stores safer during this pandemic:
- We installed clear, acrylic sneeze shields in all regular checkout lanes, SCO attendants stations and ID checking desk to add extra protection for customers and employees.
- Commissary personnel are using sanitizing solution at checkout stand areas, product display glass cases and handles and shopping carts.

- We have implemented, in union with the installation, procedures regarding social distancing.
- We encourage the use of credit or debit transactions to limit the use of cash and coins.
