Fold3 (military records) is not part of the free Ancestry access that is provided to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But United States military members, retirees and veterans can obtain free access to Fold 3 records through the DOD MWR Digital Library. This access also includes civilians who are employed by the Department of Defense and Coast Guard in some situations.
