![]() ![]() In an effort to expand access to and ensure the preservation of the records, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) together with the Department of Defense (DOD) developed a schedule, signed July 8, 2004, making the Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF) permanent records of the United States. The records of each military service department on file at NPRC are listed under Location of Military Service Records. NPRC does not have records of members who are still in the active or inactive reserves or in the National Guard. Records are usually transferred to NPRC within six months after these events. Included are records of veterans who are completely discharged (with no remaining reserve commitment), or who are retired or have died. The National Archives' National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) stores records of individual military service pertaining to former service members who no longer have a service obligation. ![]() See Military Medical and Health Records for more details. Most Official Military Personnel Files contain both personnel and active duty health records, but this practice was discontinued by the service branches beginning in 1992. ![]()
