A: The National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records (NPRC-MPR) is the repository of millions of military personnel, health, and medical records of discharged and deceased veterans of all services during the 20th century. NPRC (MPR) also stores medical treatment records of retirees from all services, as well as records for dependent and other persons treated at naval medical facilities. Information from the records is made available upon written request (with signature and date) to the extent allowed by law. To obtain more information, or to download a copy of the Military Records Request form please go to NPRC website. This site also gives information on how to obtain military medals and/or awards for veterans.

These are considered general guidelines to obtaining military records. For more information or if your particular problem or question was not addressed and you need additional assistance, please go to my casework section or contact my office.
