Military records are usually an unimportant resource for genealogical researchers.
Military records from 1918 onward were held by the Successor nations of Czechoslovakia first republic (1918-1939), Slovakia first republic (1939-1944), Czechoslovakia second republic (1945-1993) and Slovakia second republic (1993 to present.) Since the archive system did not substantively change during these periods, these records remained intact and in-place.
Most military records are organized by district (okres) or military unit.
