USO✓

From training exercises in Germany to Jordan’s sun-scorched terrain, USO teams deliver expeditionary support to service members in demanding conditions, providing fuel during extended field operations so they can stay focused on supporting our allies amid global unrest.

The USO is grateful for @ODFL_Inc's continued support. Their commitment to our nation's service members and military families make this partnership truly impactful. We are proud to stand alongside Old Dominion Freight Line in bringing moments of support to those who serve.

When service members deploy overseas, they leave beloved pets behind, too. USO Canine Volunteers bring four-legged companionship to those serving far away, helping ease stress, lift spirits and offer comfort and a welcome reminder of home during long months apart every day.

This Halloween, while USO Centers are hosting costume parties for military families back home, teams are delivering treats to deployed troops around the world. A holiday break might be small. For someone working hard overseas, it can still mean a lot.

Since March, service members aboard the USS Gonzalez have been deployed to the Europe-Africa and Middle East region. At ports of call from Souda Bay to Sicily, USO teams have welcomed the crew, boosting sailors' morale in between intense missions.

Did you know? U.S. Navy aircraft carriers are so large, they have their own ZIP codes. These floating cities house thousands of service members. Through USO Care Packages & activities, the USO delivers essentials, helping troops stay supported. 📸: Seaman A. Joy, USO Photos

You can prepare for deployment, but you can’t predict every need halfway around the world. From favorite snacks to hygiene essentials, USO Care Packages fill the gaps, delivering comfort and support to service members wherever they serve.

Aboard the USS George Washington, sailors face the stress of deployment and life at sea. At the USO Center aboard, a crew-led music club gives them a creative outlet to recharge and connect through music — helping them return to duty mission-ready. 📸: U.S. Navy; USO Photo

Send a message of support to a deployed service member at It only takes a minute, and they'll know someone back home is thinking of them. Day of the Deployed is Oct. 26. Let's encourage service members with messages of support.

Military families sacrifice time together, too. When the Haviland family faced a sudden deployment to the Middle East, Krystal, Scott and their two children had to put plans on hold. Read how they navigated the uncertainty here:

Tell us about a time the USO helped you through deployment. Maybe it was a hot meal, a place to call home or a voice on the other end of the line. Share your story in the replies. Day of the Deployed is Oct. 26, and your stories are part of it.

The grim reality of deployment is that not everyone comes home. Since 1991, the USO has supported every dignified transfer of U.S. service members at Dover AFB, caring for their fellow service members & the families of the fallen. 📸: J. Minto; SFC A. Shuemake; M. Campino

Deployment means more than time apart. It’s missed birthdays, high-pressure missions, time zones and life continuing while a loved one is thousands of miles away. To see how the USO helps service members stay connected, click here: 📸: DVIDS/USO

U.S. service members in Poland train alongside European allies, often far from the nearest USO Center. So USO teams bring support to the field, delivering supplies, resources and a vital connection to home — helping troops through long days and long stretches away from home.

The USO had an incredible day with our partner @Guidehouse at @AudiField, where employees & their families joined us in assembling 1,000 care packages for deployed service members. Thank you Guidehouse for your continued partnership & commitment to supporting those who serve!

This week, the USO invited service members to attend the premiere of the newest season of #NCISNY, where they met @llcoolj & Scott Caan. Thank you to our friends at @NCISVerse for this incredible opportunity to give back to the people who serve. 📸: Getty Images for CBS
