Origins and history

GovX was founded in 2011 by Marc Van Buskirk, Shannon Van Buskirk and Anthony Farwell. Two of GovX’s founders were involved in the development and operation of US Standard Issue, a single brand, direct-to-military, tactical e-commerce Web site offering Oakley tactical products. Its founding CEO, Marc Van Buskirk, was largely responsible for developing Oakley’s military-direct sales channel and US Standard Issue. Oakley acquired the USSI web site from Van Buskirk and soon after, Van Buskirk founded GovX.

    Medal of Honor: Warfighter Military Edition

    In 2012, GovX partnered with Electronic Arts and Danger Close Games to develop an exclusive "Military only" edition of their upcoming title Medal of Honor: Warfighter. The Medal of Honor: Warfighter Military Edition will bundle the limited edition of the shooter with additional in-game content, and will only be available for active, reserve and former US military personnel and US government employees exclusively on GovX.com

    The Military Edition includes all the perks of the game's civilian-ready Limited Edition, as well as "exclusive in-game unlocks." One particular unlock is a camouflage pattern named "Project HONOR," which is tied to a real-world promotion arranged by EA to raise money for the families of fallen Special Operations soldiers. This version of the game will only be sold through GovX, an online retailer for verified military, law enforcement or government employees.
