WPAFB USO: The mission of the USO is to strengthen the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families. Since 1941, the USO has been the nation’s leading organization to serve the men and women in the US military, and their families, throughout their time in uniform. The USO has over 250 locations around the world, and is located at 2221 Birch Street Bldg. 1222 on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The USO Center at WPAFB is open Tuesday-Friday from 9AM-7PM and on Saturdays from 3-7PM. Volunteer availability may impact USO operating hours.

Effective January 1, 2025, the USO admissions policy is: All U.S. military personnel (Active Duty, Reserve and Guard) and their dependents with valid U.S. Department of Defense ID cards may utilize USO centers. In addition, U.S military retirees with valid U.S. Department of Defense ID cards (and their dependents with valid U.S. Department of Defense ID cards) may enter and utilize USO centers. Gold Star Families/Families of the Fallen and their guests may enter and utilize USO centers.​ Military dependents under the age of 18 must be accompanied and supervised by a parent/guardian. While we value the service of other U.S. military constituent groups, including veterans, 100% disabled veterans, and other members of the uniformed services, these groups are not permitted access to USO centers as our primary purpose is to support currently serving military personnel and their dependents.
