If I'm understanding your question, you want to send a care package to military personnel that you don't know, not a loved one.  Please check my source link.  It's for AnySoldier.  On the site, you can find men and women from all branches of the military that are asking for care packages or just penpals.  Some of them are unit Commanders or 1SG asking for items that the troops in their unit need.  It will also give you the address of that person to send the package to.\n\nI don't blame you for not wanting to send cash.  It's sometimes confusing as to what organizations you can or can't trust.  This site, you send the mail directly to the military person.  If you'd like to know of other sites to support the troops, drop me a message here and I'll give you some links.\n\nI hope this is what you were asking for and that it helps.  Thank you for all you're doing to support the troops.  Don't forget, the holidays are coming.  Small trees or stockings mean the world to them overseas.  Also, I recommend that mail early for the holidays.  Normal mail service can take from 2 weeks to 2 months to get there depending on location and service.

United States Post Office is the only way. FedEx, UPS, DHL etc. will not ship to PO boxes. Call the local USPS and they will give you a web site that will ship boxes, labels, tape and documents for FREE, for friends and family of soldiers and sailors in the service.

Hi. My husband was in the marine corp. and now he is in the army. You can call or email the USO  or the post office and ask them if they still do care packages for troops. You can go to school/church/or around your community and collect snacks, toiletries, international calling cards, big quantity of items can be sold in Sam's club. for women and men to Iraq. Thank you for thinking of our soldiers and troops. God bless you!

Troops involved in any combat situation have the privelage of free postage. Does not matter if it is a letter or a small package. You can chizzle something on a rock and put an address on it and it WILL get delivered.\n\n:o)\nHope that helps\n\nCPL. Howitzer, USMC

They are military shipping addresses for military and DoD workers stationed overseas.  They are the same as a U.S. address.  It works like a post office box back in the States.  I have one here in Japan and can send and recieve from a U.S. Post office here on base.  It's very handy.

If you want to send a care package or be a penpal, the best site to use is AnySoldier.  There, you will find troops from all branches of the military and all ranks and both sexes listed.  It will state if they want a penpal or what items they or their unit could use in a care package.  It will also give their address so that you can send it directly to them.\n\nThank you for your willingness to support our troops.  Morale and knowing the people back home care is a huge part of their lives.  Please just be cautious of websites asking for donations and such.  Even during this time and for this cause, there are many scams out there.  \n\nIf you'd like links to any other sites, please leave a message here and I'll post them for you.  I try not to post all of them because there's quite an extended list, but most of them are ones that we in the military are told are safe and trusted.  I usually just post the source link for what I think is best suited for what's being asked.\n\nThanks again from and Army wife of 18 years and 3 deployments!!

Certain conditions and restrictions apply when mailing items to military and civilian personnel deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Middle East and Persian Gulf areas.\n\nPrograms that allowed the general public to send mail addressed to "Any Service Member" were cancelled more than a year ago by the Department of Defense's (DoD). While popular with the public during Desert Storm and other operations, DoD's concern with security and transportation constraints led to canceling this program. The DoD recommends that individuals and organizations wishing to mail letters and care packages to individual servicemembers overseas refocus their activities into supporting the servicemember's family members at home.\n\nThe DoD recommends visiting www.defendamerica.mil and clicking the "Support Our Troops" icon as a means for the public to find out ways to support servicemembers.\n\nAddressing Tips\n\nThe DoD has requested that those who send mail use the servicemember's full name (with or without rank or rating), unit and APO/FPO (Air/Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office) address with the nine-digit ZIP Code (if one is assigned) and a return address. For packages, mailers are asked to print on one side only with the recipient's address in the lower right portion.\n\nProhibitions\n\nWhile there are specific restrictions for each five-digit military post office ZIP Code (APO/FPO), generally speaking, it is prohibited to mail the following to this region: \n\n• obscene articles (prints, paintings, cards, films, videotapes, etc.); \n• pork or pork by-products; \n• any matter depicting nude or seminude persons, pornographic or sexual items, or nonauthorized political materials. Although religious materials contrary to the Islamic faith are prohibited in bulk quantities, items for the personal use of the addressee are permissible. \n\nRestrictions are updated every other Thursday in the Postal Bulletin. Customers may also obtain this information by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS, or by visiting their local post office.\n\nAll military units are assigned an APO or FPO ZIP Code and in many cases that ZIP Code travels with the unit. The Postal Service places APO/FPO mail on special charter flights, commercial airlines, and military service aircraft at military and U.S. airports. When planes arrive overseas, the mail is tendered to the military and transported via local military transportation to delivery points.\n\nAccording to the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA), depending on where the servicemember is located, letters and Priority Mail parcels to Kuwait normally take 10 to 15 days. Parcel Post packages take longer since they don't travel by aircraft within the U.S. prior to overseas dispatch. There may be size restrictions and customs declaration form requirements to some locations as mail going through the MPSA can be subject to the host country customs requirements. The time to deliver varies depending on the category of mail and the country of destination. Delivery may also take longer when armed forces are on the move during periods of heightened activity. \n\nPackaging Tips\n\nIt's a good idea to keep the following in mind to ensure that packages are delivered promptly.\n\n• Extreme Temperatures: Desert temperatures typically exceed 100 degrees.  \n• The Box: Select a box strong enough to protect the contents and large enough to accommodate cushioning. If reusing a box, cover all previous labels and markings with a heavy black marker or adhesive labels. \n• Cushioning: Cushioning the contents with newspaper is a novel way to send news from home. Styrofoam and bubble wrap are also good choices. Close and shake the box. If it rattles, add additional cushioning to keep items from shifting. \n• Batteries: Occasionally a battery powered item such as a radio or electric razor will turn itself on during shipment. Be sure to remove and wrap the batteries separately. \n• Sealing:

All you need is his/her address.  Do not send alcohol, pornography, weapons, ammunition or anything else that common sense would tell you is not allowed by the military.\n\nAnother thing not to send is chocolate.  You can get away with sending it in winter but now the tempratures are high enough that it will melt (and get all over everything).  fragile items are also not likely to survive the trup.\n\nBelow is a link to a Usenet article that discussed what to do/not do when sending care packages to servicemembers in Iraq.
