{{Click|Image:Netherlands_ORP.png|Netherlands Online Genealogy Records}}<br>Military records in the Netherlands list details about those who served in the military,and from 1816 the names of all young men who were liable to conscription.
Military records identify individuals who served in the military or who were eligible to serve. Young men after 1811 were required to serve in or register for military service in the Netherlands. Evidence that an ancestor actually served may be found in family records, biographies, photographs, censuses, population registers, civil registrations, and church records.

'''National Militia [''Nationale Militie'']'''
 
The national militia was organized in 1816, generating militia registers and conscription lists. Young men were registered during their 18th year of age in the municipality they lived in. They began serving in their 20th year, either by volunteering or by being drafted. Some were exempt from serving, including those with bodily impairments and those who had a brother already serving. Until 1898, drafted men were allowed to find a replacement to serve for them.
 
Militia records give a person’s name, birth date and place, parents’ names, and marital status. They can be arranged by municipality or by district [''canton'' or ''arrondissement'']. Not all of the records still exist. Where preserved, they are usually kept in the municipal archives or by the municipal secretary; some are at the state archives. Records from the provinces of Friesland, Gelderland, Groningen, and Limburg have been filmed by the Family History Library.
 
Several archives are scanning in their military records and offering them to the public for indexing on a new Web site: [http://militieregisters.nl/ militieregisters].<br>A list of participating archives along with the localities covered is found [http://militieregisters.nl/deelnemende-archieven.html here].

GeneaKnowHow is always a good site for records, especially those from a specific place. 
The National Archives in 's-Gravenhage (The Hague) has an online index for their pre-Napoelonic military records. The originals have to be viewed either in person or for a fee. 
[[Netherlands Army Service Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)|Netherlands Army Service Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)]]
