The modern military of the Slovak Republic, a.k.a. [[Useful Notes/Slovakia|Slovakia]], was founded in 1993, after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia. It started operating as a NATO force in 2004, when the country became a member of the alliance. Its official name is ''Ozbrojené sily Slovenskej republiky'' ("The Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic").
 
Until about a decade ago, the armed forces were separated into three distinct, semi-autonomous branches : The Army (''Armáda'') itself, the Army of the Ministry of Interior (''Vojsko Ministerstva vnútra'') and the so-called Railway Army (''Železničné vojsko''). The latter two branches were integrated into the Army in 2002, creating the current version of the armed forces (including the change to its newer, currently used name).
