About us
The USO is for the people who serve. Strengthening the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families. Since 1941, the USO has strengthened America's military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation. From the moment they join, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the USO is always by their side. We are the Force Behind the Forces. We currently operate more than 250 USO centers at or near military installations, including in combat zones, MEPS centers, several airports, and even un-staffed USO service sites in places too dangerous for anyone but combat troops to occupy. We serve the American Armed Forces - specifically, U.S. Active, Reserve, and Guard service members and their families through a wide arrange of programs and entertainment. The USO is a congressionally chartered, private organization that relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities, and is powered by a family of over 30,000 volunteers to accomplish our mission. The USO is not part of the federal government.

"What do you miss most about home during deployment?" Service members reflect on the personal challenges of being away from home while deployed — like missing family, friends and home-cooked meals. Their candid responses reveal the human side of military life and highlight the importance of staying connected. At the USO, we provide emotional, logistical and recreational support to service members and their families because feeling supported through every stage of military life is essential for their well-being. We're proud to be a constant companion through every deployment and life transition, helping them stay strong — because even the strongest among us need someone by their side.

On National Day of the Deployed, we honor the strength, resilience and dedication of service members like U.S. Army National Guard Capt. Will Winn, who has embarked on his first deployment. Being apart from his wife and young children is challenging, but his unwavering commitment to serve is matched by the dedication of his family back home. Through the USO Reading Program, Will has found a special way to connect with his kids, sharing bedtime stories from thousands of miles away. The support of his loved ones helps bridge the distance, reminding him of what led him to serve. Today and every day, we honor and express our deepest gratitude to service members and their families who make sacrifices to protect and defend. We are with you, every step of the way. #NationalDayoftheDeployed https://lnkd.in/gA4-cjsc
