Finding all members in OUs of the same name

My organization has a different OU for each site we have. Within each site is a nested out called OU=USERS.

I want to find all members in every sites nested USERS OU.

Simply using the following command does not work:

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=USERS,DC=*****,DC=*****"

Obviously, this does not return anything. I must specify a site:

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=USERS,OU=MySite,DC=*****,DC=*****"

Is it possibly to search through every site OU looking for the sub USERS ou?

You could use another cmdlet to get the OU's you are looking for. 

$ous = Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter "Name -eq 'Users'" 
$ous | ForEach-Object{
    Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase $_.DistinguishedName
}

Get-ADOrganizationalUnit will get all the USERS OU's for you then you can run Get-ADUser against each of those.
