The United Service Organizations Inc.(USO) is a nonprofit organization that
provides programs, services and live entertainment to United States troops
and their families. Since 1941, it has worked in partnership with the Department
of Defense (DoD), relying heavily on private contributions and on funds, goods,
and services from various corporate and individual donors. Although it was
congressionally chartered, it is not a government agency. The USO operates
160 centers worldwide.
