San Diego International Airport is host to the nation's second largest United Services Organization (USO) center, providing our military with a welcome respite while traveling. Opened in March 2000, this 6,520-square-foot facility hosts approximately 100,000 service members and their families each year.

The center is named after longtime serviceman to the USO, C. Neil Ash. During World War II, Ash was commissioned an Ensign in the U.S. Navy, and served in the Pacific. He was recalled to active duty for two years during the Korean War, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Ash has been a dedicated supporter of Sailors and Marines in San Diego for many decades, and conceived and led the successful 15-year campaign to open a cutting-edge USO Center at the Airport.

The Center is located in Terminal 2, directly across from the second floor American Airlines ticket counter. Simply walk across the pedestrian bridge, take the escalator down to the first floor and look to your left.

The Neil Ash USO Center features the following amenities:
