Frankfurt USO closes
The USO permanently closed its center at the Frankfurt International Airport due to several operational factors. Over the past three years, the center has seen a decline in the number of visitors using the facility as a result of the shift of arriving military personnel and their families from Frankfurt to Ramstein. The location now primarily serves as a spot for visitors to wait for commercial shuttles to local installations. Additionally, force protection and security concerns coupled with limited and costly options to reduce risk contributed to the decision.
