USO2GO

 

USO2GO delivers the USO’s most popular services to troops in the remote and restricted areas. Everything from beanbag chairs, snacks, coffee, and toiletries to phone cards, DVDs, XBox®360, PlayStation® 3, and Wii. Also available are laptops, musical instruments, art supplies, footballs, Frisbees, and horseshoes.

Developed with feedback from deployed service members, USO2GO kits change as the needs of service members change. Units can select eight variations that can be customized to fit the needs of individual units stationed on Forward Operating Bases (FOBs).

More than 140 USO2GO’s have been delivered to Afghanistan since the inception of the program, including 102 in 2009.
