Military Records for Genealogists and Historians
The National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis,
Missouri, maintains the personnel files of military
service records from World War I and later. On July
12, 1973, a disastrous fire at NPRC destroyed
approximately 16-18 million Official Military Personnel
Files. Approximately 80 percent of the records for ARMY
personnel discharged November 1, 1912 to January 1, 1960
and 75 percent of the records for
Air Force personnel discharged
September 25, 1947 to January 1, 1964 (with names
alphabetically after Hubbard, James E.) were
destroyed. In the event the file was destroyed, the
National Records Center will attempt to reconstruct the
service record using alternative sources and can usually
verify military service and provide a Certification
of Military Service. This Certification can be used
for any purpose for which the original discharge document
was used, including application for veterans
benefits.
Modern era (World War I to present) Military
Service Records are held by the National
Personnel Records Center rather than the National
Archives, and are limited to authorized individuals due
to the Privacy Act. For details of who may access
records,
CLICK HERE. To obtain a copy of your DD Form
214,

Modern era Pension and Medical
Records are under the custodianship of the
Department of Veterans Affairs and are covered by the
Privacy Act and access is through the Freedom of
Information Act. Veterans and surviving next of kin,
