FORT DRUM, N.Y. --  The USO says RP6 is a first-of-its kind, concierge approach globally for connecting service members and their families with specific resources and organizations, within their community that will support them on their path forward.

Details from the USO:

The new USO/RP6 locations will be co-located with USO centers across the country. By opening multiple USO/RP6 locations, service members will be better served globally, and will have consistent support in various locations, eventually at most major military installations

USO Transition 360 Alliance partners currently include:

• RP/6, a program that helps servicemen and women develop plans for the future by connecting them to transition resources within their community.

·         RP/6 (formerly RallyPoint/6) has created a unique transition model by opening a facility that in military terms can be coined a “rally point” or civilian “one-stop-shop”. They connect targeted resources for transitioning service members and their families in more efficient, effective, and positive ways. The USO opened our first pilot sites in the Fall of 2015. 

• Hire Heroes USA, assisting service members and their spouses with pursuing new career paths.

• Stronger Families and the Comfort Crew for Military Kids, each helping to strengthen and support our military families.
