The United States Armed Forces includes six branches: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. Today, more than two million personnel serve in active duty and reserve components, providing for the common defense of the United States and its citizens.

The National Archives houses a vast collection of U.S. military records that document the service of individuals from the Revolutionary War to the present. These records include personnel records, intelligence reports, photographs, enlistment and discharge papers, draft registration cards, and more. They offer valuable insights for historians, genealogists, and researchers studying military service, historic battles, and veterans’ experiences.

Many of these records are available online. Online research can be done by searching by military branch, war or conflict, or topic.
