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.

When service members are newly deployed or find themselves in remote duty stations, they know they can always count on the USO. Because of generous donors, like Stephen and Christine Schwarzman, the USO was able to increase its footprint at a rapid speed in Europe. “We were proud to support service members and their families in Europe with this gift to the USO,” said Stephen and Christine Schwarzman. “These men and women currently serving deserve our utmost gratitude. Anything we can do to make their time spent overseas more comfortable is an honor for us.”
Chairman, CEO & Co-Founder of Blackstone, New York Times Bestselling Author of What It Takes, Philanthropist
I'm deeply honored to support the USO's efforts on behalf of our troops and their families overseas. The men and women serving our country deserve our utmost gratitude. The same is true in their transition to the civilian workforce. One of my proudest moments was announcing that Blackstone surpassed its goal of 100,000 veterans, veteran spouses and caregivers hired across our portfolio companies. Not only is it our duty, their unique experiences help make organizations stronger. Read more below.

Jinx 🤝 USO At Jinx we understand the strong bond between humans and animals, and the critical role dogs can play within the military community to help address mental, emotional, and physical needs. That's why we're proud to announce that this August and September, we're donating 5% of all Jinx purchased at Walmart to USO to support programs that strengthen the well-being of service members and their families. Part of your purchase directly supports the USO, including the organization's Canine Program, which uses therapy dogs, family pets, and military working dogs to boost morale for service members and their families.
