  • The United Service Organizations Inc. (USO) is an American nonprofit-charitable corporation that provides live entertainment, such as comedians, actors and musicians, social facilities, and other programs to members of the United States Armed Forces and their families. Since 1941, it has worked in partnership with the Department of War, and later 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 is congressionally chartered, it is not a government agency. Founded during World War II, the USO sought to be the GI's "home away from home" and began a tradition of entertaining the troops and providing social facilities. Involvement in the USO was one of the many ways in which the nation had come together to support the war effort, with nearly 1.5 million people having volunteered their services in some way. The USO initially disbanded in 1947, but was revived in 1950 for the Korean War, after which it continued, also providing peacetime services. During the Vietnam War, USO social facilities ("USOs") were sometimes located in combat zones. The organization became particularly known for its live performances, called camp shows, through which the entertainment industry helps boost the morale of servicemen and women. In the early days, Hollywood was eager to show its patriotism, and many celebrities joined the ranks of USO entertainers. They went as volunteers to entertain, and celebrities continue to provide volunteer entertainment in military bases in the U.S. and overseas, sometimes placing their own lives in danger by traveling or performing under hazardous conditions. In 2011, the USO was awarded the National Medal of Arts. The USO has over 200 locations around the world in 14 countries (including the U.S.) and 27 states. During a gala marking the USO's 75th anniversary in 2016, retired Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the chairman of the USO Board of Governors, estimated that the USO has served more than 35 million Americans over its history. (en)

  • La United Service Organizations (USO) è un'organizzazione senza scopo di lucro che fornisce intrattenimento dal vivo, come comici e musicisti e altri programmi ai membri delle Forze Armate degli Stati Uniti e alle loro famiglie. Dal 1941, ha collaborato con il Dipartimento della Guerra, e in seguito con il Dipartimento della Difesa (DoD), facendo molto affidamento sui contributi privati e su fondi, beni e servizi di vari donatori aziendali e individuali. Sebbene sia a carattere congressuale, non è un'agenzia governativa. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, l'USO divenne la "casa lontano da casa" dei GI e iniziò una tradizione di intrattenere le truppe che continua oggi. Il coinvolgimento nell'OSU è stato uno dei molti modi in cui la nazione si è unita per sostenere lo sforzo bellico, con circa 1,5 milioni di persone che hanno offerto volontariamente i loro servizi in qualche modo. Dopo essere stato sciolto nel 1947, fu rianimato nel 1950 per la guerra in Corea, dopo di che fornì anche servizi in tempo di pace. Durante la guerra in Vietnam, gli USO erano a volte situati in zone di combattimento. L'organizzazione divenne particolarmente famosa per le sue esibizioni dal vivo, chiamate sfilate, attraverso le quali l'industria dell'intrattenimento contribuì a rafforzare il morale dei suoi soldati. Hollywood in generale era desiderosa di mostrare il suo patriottismo e molte celebrità famose si unirono ai ranghi degli intrattenitori di USO. S'intrattenevano in basi militari a casa e all'estero, a volte mettendo in pericolo la propria vita, viaggiando o esibendosi in condizioni pericolose. L'USO ha oltre 200 sedi in tutto il mondo in 14 Paesi (compresi gli Stati Uniti) e 27 Stati degli USA. Durante una cerimonia di gala del 75º anniversario dell'USO nel 2016, il generale dell'esercito in pensione George W. Casey Jr., attuale presidente del Consiglio di amministrazione dell'USO, ha stimato che l'USO ha servito oltre 35 milioni di americani nella sua storia. (it)
  • United Service Organizations, mais conhecido pela sigla USO, é uma organização não-governamental dos Estados Unidos destinada a dar suporte moral às tropas do país no exterior. (pt)
  • Объединённые организации обслуживания вооружённых сил (англ. United Service Organizations, USO) — независимое объединение добровольных религиозных, благотворительных и других обществ по содействию вооружённым силам США. Принимает участие в организации досуга военнослужащих, прежде всего путём создания клубов. Финансируется за счёт частных пожертвований, имея 160 отделений в США и за рубежом. Её деятельность официально признана полезной Министерством обороны, устав одобрен Конгрессом США. Основана в 1941 году с намерением морально поддержать сражающихся солдат, «создать для них дом вне дома». Во время Второй мировой войны в концертах, организованных по инициативе организаций, принимали участие многие звёзды эстрады. В 1947 году клубы USO за ненадобностью были расформированы, однако уже в 1950-м вновь начали активную деятельность из-за развязавшейся Корейской войны, позже продолжили работу в горячих точках Вьетнамской войны, посылая своих активистов прямо на поля сражений. С развитием телевидения многие встречи и концерты организаций стали транслироваться кабельными телеканалами, особой популярностью пользуются те из них, которые проходят при участии звёзд первой величины: известных актёров, музыкантов, спортсменов. Находясь в зоне военных действий, знаменитости рискуют своими жизнями наравне с простыми солдатами, в результате чего патриотизм и боевой дух последних существенно возрастает. (ru)
