United Service Organizations, Inc.

The United Service Organizations, Inc. (USO) is an American non-profit charitable corporation dedicated to strengthening the well-being of U.S. military service members and their families. Its mission is to keep them connected to family, home, and country throughout their time in uniform. Established in 1941, the USO is congressionally chartered but operates as a private organization, relying on the generosity of individuals, organizations, and corporations. The organization's headquarters are located in Arlington, Virginia.

The USO provides a wide array of programs and services through its global network of over 250 centers, situated at or near military installations, in airports, and even in combat zones. These offerings include live entertainment through celebrity tours, social facilities, free internet and phone calls to connect with loved ones, care packages, reading programs, and comprehensive transition assistance for service members moving into civilian life.

Led by CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Linnington, the USO is supported by a dedicated staff and more than 30,000 volunteers worldwide. The organization continuously adapts its services to meet the evolving needs of military personnel and their families, ensuring consistent support from the moment they join, through deployments, and as they transition back to their communities.
