website

This is the official government site for obtaining U.S. service personnel records. There is a separate instruction page for complying with their request process. Note that to access some information, you need the consent of the veteran or next-of-kin. This is typically a free service, but it can charge for “extensive research”. The average response time is 10 business days.
