因为乔治.马歇尔将军在1940年率先提议,并且得到法兰克林.罗斯福总统的支持,当时的公共服务组织代表组织起来,设立了「联合服务组织」。创立「联合服务组织」的服务组织包括了「救世军」 (Salvation Army) 、「基督教青年会」 (YMCA) 、「基督教女青年会全国理事会」 (National Board of the YWCA) 、「全国犹太人福利理事会」 (National Jewish Welfare Board) ,以及「全国天主教社区服务队」 (National Catholic Community Service) 等等。在第二次世界大战期间,有739千个志愿者在各地找得到的空间,一共开放了超过3千间休闲俱乐部。这些俱乐部通常是位在教会、博物馆、谷仓、火车、店面,以及其他不太像是俱乐部的场所。

At the suggestion of General George C. Marshall in 1940, and with the approval of President Franklin Roosevelt, representatives from existing public service organizations came together to form the USO Inc. Creating the USO were the Salvation Army, the YMCA, the National Board of the YWCA, the National Jewish Welfare Board, and the National Catholic Community Service. During World War II, 739,000 volunteers operated more than 3,000 recreational clubs, which were established wherever they could find room. Clubs were housed in churches, museums, barns, railroad cars, storefronts, and other unlikely locales.
