Commissaries are on the post where the service men live and work. Walmart is off post and some distance away. And I would guess, that in someplaces, for example Ft. Huachuca or Dugway Proving Ground, there may not even be a Walmart.

We do have a Walmart out side Ft. Huachuca.

It is a Walmart that we joke needs its own postal Zipcode, lay out of it stinks, stocking of it likewise stinks, and parking stinks.

The point everyone else here seemed happy to ignore.

Except for a small amount of base housing, most of the people who live on base are single E4 and below. They live in barracks without kitchens and eat in the galley.

Service members with families, by and large, live off base, and probably closer to a Walmart than a commissary.
