Our mission is to strengthen the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families.

The USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation.

Today, on the Day of the Deployed, we recognize the brave men and women serving far from home and the sacrifices they and their families make in service to our nation.

Across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the USO is proud to stand alongside deployed service members, providing moments of connection, comfort and a reminder of home, wherever the mission takes them.

To all those serving away from home, thank you for your dedication and sacrifice. We are honored to be here for you every step of the way!

Sometimes, a small taste of home can make a huge difference. ❤️

Early one morning, USO team members made their way into the desert in the Middle East with a special delivery: more than 300 freshly baked brownies, coolers filled with ice-cold water and gallons of refreshing electrolyte drinks for more than 200 soldiers participating in a training event.

As the USO team arrived, excited shouts of “The USO lady is here!” and “She baked us brownies!” quickly filled the air. The homemade treats were an instant hit, bringing smiles, laughter and a few memorable reviews. One soldier summed up the morning perfectly: “I get an adrenaline rush and a sugar rush. It’s a good day.”

The visit quickly became a highlight of the training event, with soldiers expressing their appreciation for the unexpected treats and the USO team's willingness to make the trip into the desert. And the brownies? They made such an impression that the team is still fielding requests for another batch, and one USO team member has earned a new nickname: “The Brownie Lady.”

Being away from family during deployment means missing more than birthdays and holidays. For one soldier serving overseas, it meant being apart from a fiancée soon after proposing, and missing Christmas and a birthday in the same year.

At the local USO Center, Wi-Fi, phones and computers make it possible to call, email or video chat home. One soldier put it this way: "We found out that they had phones for us to actually contact families, computers, being able to email or Discord home, like actually having a constant communication with our families, it's really nice."

Military life is sweeter when you have a community by your side. 🍎

Military spouses recently came together for an “Apple-solutely Bunco” morning filled with friendly competition, fall treats and plenty of laughter at USO Vicenza. Between rolling the dice and winning prizes, spouses had the opportunity to meet new friends, learn a new game and build connections with others who understand the unique experiences of military life.

From programs that bring people together to events for the whole family, the USO is there to help military families feel connected and supported — wherever their journey takes them. ❤️

For men and women deployed to Somalia, opportunities to step away from daily duties and decompress can be limited. But with the opening of a new USO center, service members now have a dedicated place where they can relax, connect with others and enjoy some of the comforts of home. 🎉

“Hearing service members express genuine excitement over something as simple as a comfortable couch offered profound perspective,” said USO staff member Ali.

Bringing the center to life required flexibility, patience and collaboration between USO staff and military partners. Ali took the lead on setting up the center on the ground, navigating the challenges of establishing a new space in a remote environment.

The team also wanted the completed center to reflect the service members who would actually use it. After learning there was an active board game community, the USO prioritized purchasing dedicated gaming tables that could become a social hub. Comfortable seating, video games and other fun activities offer additional ways for people to relax and connect.

Service members quickly began making the center their own, and immediately came together for a Bingo Tournament right after the ribbon cutting.

“This center represents more than a physical space,” USO staff member Ericka said. “It represents our commitment to showing up for our service members wherever their mission takes them and making sure they know they are remembered, valued, and supported.”

It's the first day of Fall and the USO team at USO Drawsko Pomorskie is celebrating with homemade caramel apples, hot udon, and plenty of Halloween fun!🎃 There was also friendly competition during the Mario Kart tournament and lots of laughs!

Good food, great company and a place to connect. ❤️

At the USO Warrior Center, wounded, ill and injured service members recently came together for an evening of dinner and fellowship, made possible with support from Semper Fi & America's Fund.

For service members receiving care far from home, nights like this offer more than a meal. They provide an opportunity to step away from appointments and recovery, spend time with others who understand the journey and simply enjoy an evening together.

We’re grateful for partners like Semper Fi & America’s Fund who help us create meaningful moments of connection and strengthen the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families.

Our newest USO center in Norway is officially open! 🇳🇴

After three days of hard work, two rooms and one big transformation, the center is ready to welcome and support Marines during upcoming exercises.

Our USO team worked alongside service member volunteers to turn the spaces into a place where Marines can recharge, connect and enjoy a little piece of home while away from their families. And it wasn’t all work — the team also kicked things off with karaoke, trivia and plenty of fun along the way. 🎤

A huge thank you to the service members who rolled up their sleeves and helped unload furniture, paint, assemble and transform these rooms into a fully operational USO space.

We can’t wait to see the center supporting those who serve throughout their time in Norway.
