Where to search for US military discharge records.
Any military discharge record can be obtained by The National Archive. Military discharge records are a great tool to find out more about your family history. Many people use these records mainly for genealogy purposes.
US military discharge records can reveal much more information than the military discharge of the person. As almost all military records, US military discharge records contain interesting information about various aspects of someone's army experience. Usually military records contain the name of the person, their service number, the enlistment and discharge dates and places, services of the person and awards or medals obtained during the service.
How to obtain free military discharge records.
Free military discharge records can be requested by The National Archive. Most of the records can be obtained free of charge, especially if you are the owner of the records or their legal representative or next of kin. Members of the general public can also request some records free of charge. In cases when bulk amount of records are requested or when many photocopies are required there might be some charges.
Another great way to get free military discharge records is by searching an online public database. These web sites are connected to the .government archives and you can search for any military records only with the name of the person. Another great advantage of an online search is that you will have the results right away.
